Psalm 67:5-6 ‘Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee.Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God, even our own God, shall bless us.’

DAILY READING – Acts 4:23-37; Deuteronomy 21-22; Job 14

The Earth is the only planet in the solar system that is habitable for people to live in.
There is no other place in the entire solar system like it. Despite great efforts by scientists to find another habitable planet perfectly suited for human existence, this search has continued to prove unrealistic.
God created the earth with abundance of air, water, and plants which are necessary for life to exist.
The Earth is the only planet with enough liquid water—such as the oceans, lakes, rivers, and streams. The earth is the only planet that has just the right amount of oxygen for plant and animal life.
The size of the Earth is perfect for maintaining the gravity we need so we can walk and move with ease, without floating away.
The Earth is in perfect positioning with regard to its distance from the Sun. The sun warms the Earth in such a way that it is not too hot or too cold. If Earth were any closer to the sun, the heat would be so extreme that fiery destruction would be inevitable. If any further we would freeze to death.
This perfect positioning of the earth from the sun is a main factor in creating the conditions that allow life to exist on Earth.
It is also amazing that Earth and the moon have orbit paths that ensure there is no collision with one another or the sun.
It is truly amazing to consider the complexity and the amazing diversity of life on earth, and the mathematical precision of the laws of physics and chemistry. These are all indicative of the incomprehensible creativity, intelligence, and power of God who made a world that complements each aspect of human existence.

Indeed we serve the God of wonders and every part of creation speaks of His glory. He has ordered everything in creation to work for the good of man’s existence. This shows indeed that His thoughts towards us are thoughts of good and not of evil. Certainly, God is for us and not against us.

Yet it is interesting how we can sometimes forget the great workings of God in creation and wonder about His ability to supply our needs. But our mundane needs pale in significance when compared to the fact that God has already freely supplied the most basic needs of our existence on earth such as oxygen, water, sunlight etc.
And if God can take care of these greater needs, certainly, He is much more able to take care of our other needs.

However, just as God has set in motion laws that control the universe, He has also set laws in His Word to guide man into His divine provisions.
One of these important laws we must obey to experience increase and blessings in our lives, is to engage the power of praise.

Psalm 67:5-6 says ‘Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee.Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God, even our own God, shall bless us.’

There is a clear connection between praise and divine provision.. Praise provokes the release of God’s blessings and puts the earth under pressure to yield increase to those who praise God.
Therefore, if you know how to engage the power of praise, you will enjoy divine multiplications because no person, system or government can withhold what is due you.
As you remain persistent in faith and keep praising God, it is only a matter of time before your cup runs over.

Indeed, when we commit to walking in obedience to God’s laws our lives will eventually manifest His wonders and glory, just as seen in the universe. It is only when man gets out of order with God’s laws that frustration sets in. Disobedience to God’s law is what brings suffering and problems. But following God’s Word will bring provision, joy, peace and fulfillment.
Therefore, today, it doesn’t matter how disheveled things may look around you, once you can get on course with God’s Word, the lines will fall for you in pleasant places. Issues will sort themselves, situations will align with the will of God, and you will enjoy peace and order.
As we continually praise God, certainly we will experience a speedy change of season.
In this last month of the year, God will bring us out of every failure and establish us in success. He will bring an end to every confusion and frustration and usher us in to a season of wonders without number.

PRAYER: LORD, I thank You for releasing upon me the grace to praise You continually. Today, as I engage the power of praise, I thank You for causing the earth to yield its increase to me in abundance in Jesus’ Name.
