Glorify The Lord with me
The Psalmist writes,
"About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them.” Acts 16:25.
We also see in the book of Acts Peter and another apostle who had just been flogged praising God. The book of acts recording,
"The apostles left the Sanhedrin, rejoicing because they had been counted worthy of suffering disgrace for the Name. (of Jesus)" Acts 5:41.
Such a thing is still happening today. There are many Christians around the world who are in prison or being persecuted for their faith yet they still trust and praise God.
It doesn’t stop with being persecuted for their faith. There are many followers of Christ who are going through health, even financial, and personal problems that continue to trust in God.
They don’t praise God for the bad things they are enduring. They praise God for being there for them and getting them through the bad times.
They praise God that their witness for Christ was worthy of his calling.
If you consider yourself a Christian. A true believer in Christ Jesus, do you praise God in all circumstances, good, or bad?
Please think about it.
The Psalmist writes,
"I will extol the LORD at all times;
his praise will always be on my lips.
My soul will boast in the LORD;
let the afflicted hear and rejoice.
Glorify the LORD with me;
let us exalt his name together."
Psalm 34:1-3.
What has always amazed me over the years is that even when true Christians are in the worst of circumstances they trust in God. Even praise Him. We see such a thing recorded in the book of Act when Paul and Silas were in jail. Acts records,"About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them.” Acts 16:25.
We also see in the book of Acts Peter and another apostle who had just been flogged praising God. The book of acts recording,
"The apostles left the Sanhedrin, rejoicing because they had been counted worthy of suffering disgrace for the Name. (of Jesus)" Acts 5:41.
