God wants us to praise Him in the midst of our loss.
Hebrews 13:15 "Through Him then let us offer up a sacrifice of praise continually to God, that is, the fruit of lips confessing His name."
The nature of praise is an offering, a sacrifice. In other words, praise comes from pain and suffering. What is a sacrifice? A sacrifice is an offering. An offering means death and loss. We should not praise only when there is gain. Although praise offered as a result of gain is praise, it cannot be considered an offering. The principle of offering is based on loss. An offering carries with it the element of loss. God wants us to praise Him in the midst of our loss. This makes a real offering.
Praise the Lord! ^u^
Keep on Steemin'!
