The Praise Robbers: Keep the Praises of God Guarded

In the world, we have individuals known as grave robbers. They wait until a body is placed in the ground and under the cover of darkness, they dig it up and get what they can get. Well, in our Christian walk, we have praise robbers.

What are praise robbers? They are things that come in our lives and we allow them to stop and cut off our praise. They come during the dark and difficult times in our lives. What are some praise robbers? Well, let’s see… pain, persecution, disappointment, worries, woes, trials, tests, tribulations, people, places, and thing.

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or , or peril, or sword? As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. Romans 8:35-37 (KJV)

Don’t allow the praise robbers to make you a thief. Don’t allow things to separate you from God’s love. When you submit to them and withhold praise and worship, you become the chief praise robber. Your praise and worship belong to Him; remember He creates the fruit (praise) of the lips. So, on today, know that God is with you and your situation will never overturn the fact that He is worthy.

Prayer of the Week:

“Lord, grant me grace, when conflicts arise. Help me to honor you as I face conflicts. Let your will always be done. Amen.”
