Hosanna Restoration Church

It is true that we get lifted up whenever we praise the Lord. It is true that God sits on the throne that our praise creates. He does inhabit the praises of His people. God desires our praise because it builds us up and He wants us to be strong in Him and in the power of His might.

He knows that we are powerless in this world. That is why it is a fool who says that there is no God. That person thinks that they can survive on their own. Still, God loves the foolish. I know this is true, because He drew me out of foolishness. I was never one who said there is no God, I just never saw Him as being beneficial for my day to day life. Wow! Was I a fool or what? Now I consider myself to be the neediest person there is on the face of the earth!

When I continued to think about downloading and upgrading in my relationship with the Lord, it occurred to me just how important it is that I upload praise and faithfulness to the Lord. It is hard to imagine that my little offerings to God could release such an overflow of all that God has planned for me, but that is the way that God set things up. In Malachi God speaks of opening the windows of heaven for us when we upload our tithes. In other words, our little offering opens the flood gates. Our little demonstration of trust allows Him to prove Himself. That is right, we allow God to prove Himself to us!

All over the world, people are uploading information on the internet. Some of it is good and some of it is very bad. Some people unknowingly expose themselves to things they never imagined, while others do it intentionally. The point is that something always happens when they send it out there. Sometimes those who have evil intentions are caught in traps just as often times the innocent end up in evil traps.

The good news about God is that it is always good to upload praise to Him. He gets people out of traps. Not only does He help the innocent, He is able to set the evil free to praise Him. We need only to believe that God is faithful and we will see Him glorify Himself by His own faithfulness. We do not have to know how everything works in order to partake of God’s promises; we simply need to trust that it does.

A few months ago I asked my son who takes care of our web page how we could put audio files on our site. He told me it would not be a problem and in short order from two thousand miles away, he had it fixed so that I could drag a file into an icon on my desk top and the message would instantly be available to the world. I could not see how that would be possible, but I tried it, and it worked. A couple of times I have uploaded wrong, but then it only takes him a moment to fix it. The same is even truer with God. Every thing He says will work works. We may not always get it perfect, but He is able to fix it. We simply need to be sure to keep praising and trusting and we will see that the Lord is good. He loves our uploads.
