Happy? Sing Praise

One of the best ways to express a cheerful, joyful, and happy heart is to sing praises to God. That is precisely what we are encouraged to do in James 5:13 (NIV) - "Is any one of you in trouble? He should pray. Is anyone happy? Let him sing songs of praise." If you are suffering, hurting, troubled, being tried and tested - pray! If you are experiencing favor, blessings, happiness, and overflowing joy - sing songs of praise! Singing praises to God is uplifting, strengthening, and will multiply your joy. Not only will you be blessed, but, so will those that hear your praise and participate with you. Whether you are singing in the shower, in your car, as you walk through your day, or along with the praise team and congregation at church - let the praises ring out! It's not about how beautiful and polished your singing voice is but, rather, about how full your heart is with praises that just need to be let out. Sing out your praises today!
