“…You are holy, enthroned on the praises of Israel” (Ps. 22:3, NLT).
“Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name” (Heb. 13:15, NKJV).
Our holy God is enthroned upon our praises. This means that, right now, when you begin to exalt Him, you are bringing to earth the manifestation of His throne. His Kingdom comes, His will is done, on earth as it is in heaven, through your choice to magnify Him. He is enthroned on your praises. Your praises bring His throne, His Kingdom, into your situation.
Hebrews 13:15 invites us to offer a sacrifice of praise to God. Oftentimes, choosing to praise Him is indeed a sacrifice. You may not be feeling it today. You may not be having a “spiritual high” right now, but you know what? When you praise Him anyway, when you lift your voice and begin to exalt Him, that praise is an exceedingly precious sacrifice to God. And your sacrifice of praise is exceedingly mighty. Sacrifice always releases power.
Begin to praise Him right now, enthroning Him above your circumstances. Exalt Him as the name above every name. As you do so, Heaven is pouring down power at work in your behalf! You are partnering with Jesus to see His Kingdom established right in the middle of the storm!

Amen – I think those praises we offer when we don’t feel like it are even more precious to God, because they cost us something – they are indeed a “sacrifice.”
