It seems everyone is looking for something pleasant, good and lovely. They are also looking for peace, love and kindness. While everyone is looking for an answer for today's ills, I suggest that you have the answer within. You have the power to change your environment and your world. Now when you stop looking to others to give you what they do not have, then you will be available to discover the real source.
Let's look at the very thing which lasts forever, the word of God. It gives us the answers to our situations. So yes, the answer lies within. Deuteronomy 30:14 lets us know, "... the word is near unto you, in your mouth….") Proverbs 18:21 also tells us, "Death and life is in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof." So that's why you have the answer, because it is in your mouth. Don't let others determine your destiny, speak over your own life. The power is in your mouth.
Now Psalms 135:3 tells us to, "Praise the Lord; for the Lord is good: sing praises unto his name for it is pleasant.". Yes, praise to God is your answer for it is pleasant to praise the Lord. Get rid of your worries and doubts and live the pleasant life by singing praises to our God. Ps. 147:1 backs it up by restating that it is good and pleasant to sing praises to our God.
Who should praise the Lord? Ps. 192:18 tells us that ".... and the people that shall be created shall praise the Lord". Ps. 145:21 says, " My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever.". When should you praise the Lord? I Chronicles 23:30 says,".... to stand every morning to thank and praise the Lord, and likewise at even". Ps. 34:1 also tells us, "I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth." Now we have been given the word, to use our mouths continually, to praise the Lord. Therefore, we should be non-stop praising God. For Ps. 104:33 says, " I will sing unto the Lord as long as I live: I will sing praises to my God while I have my being.".
So, the word of God tells us the answer is to keep a praise. With continual praise, it eliminates complaints, worries, fears, self-interests. It also eliminates things which do not give God glory or exalts his name. Praise him because he is your strength and protection. Praise him for he shall reign forever, throughout all generations. Praising him for his name alone is excellent. Let everything that has breath, praise the Lord. Yes, instead of complaining, Let Us Praise.
