On Sunday, April 15, 2018, six tornadoes tore through the town of Elon in Central Virginia, destroying buildings and leaving devastation in their wake. Sharon Childress and her eldest son, Bryson, were at home when one of the twisters struck. Sharon was knocked unconscious after being hit on the back of the head. As the winds ripped through their house, Bryson felt as though every inch of his body had been struck at once. He suffered severe injuries, nearly lost an eye, and required multiple surgeries to recover.
By the time Sharon regained consciousness, their entire home had been reduced to rubble. Yet, in the midst of the destruction, both mother and son were deeply thankful to be alive. They joined other residents—many of them believers—in lifting their voices in praise. Though 26 homes were destroyed, not a single life was lost. The entire community chose gratitude over grief.
In the aftermath, help poured in from individuals and organizations determined to restore the town. As the people continued to thank God despite their losses, they witnessed restoration beyond expectation. New homes were built—stronger and better than before—proving once again that gratitude opens the door for miracles.
Trials turn to triumph when we offer unto God a sweet sacrifice of praise. Often our sweetest incenses of praise are those offered from the fire.
In the Old Testament, when the priest made offerings on hot coals, accompanied with incense, the Bible says that these offerings made by fire were a pleasing aroma and a sweet savor unto the Lord. [Leviticus 2:16]
Therefore, anytime you face a trial, understand that the fire is not there to burn you, but rather it is there to reveal the glory of God in your life.
An attitude of gratitude will always guarantee you the victory in every battle .
Though you may walk through the fire and the water, as you praise Him, God will preserve you from trouble. He will cover your head in battle and give you the victory over your adversaries.
Through in-depth study of the Word, you will connect to the faith that will cause you to emerge victorious.
As you keep praising God, your season will start changing.
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 says ‘Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.’
Rejoicing and being thankful in everything is God’s will for us. When you continue to offer the sacrifice of praise, in the midst of difficulties, somehow, in ways you cannot fathom, things will begin to turn around.You will see that negative medical verdict overturned, the financial problems will be resolved, the family crisis, marital troubles etc will all be overcome.
As we hold on to God’s Word and keep praising Him at all times, certainly our story will keep changing from glory to glory.
PRAYER: Lord, Please help me to maintain my praise in every circumstance. No matter what comes my way I know You are working it all for my good and causing me to emerge victorious from every challenge in Jesus Name.
