La Alabanza Fluye De La Relación

Leon FontaineEntregate

Ya no os llamo siervos, porque el siervo no conoce los asuntos de su señor. En cambio, os he llamado amigos, porque todo lo que aprendí de mi Padre, os lo he dado a conocer. Juan 15:15   Cuando alguien que no lo conoce a usted muy bien, lo felicita por algo que usted ha hecho, se siente bien. Pero cuando alguien que ha visto su trabajo muchas veces dice: “Wow, ese es uno de sus mejores trabajos”, es incluso mejor. Cuanto mejor usted conozca a alguien, más específico, personal y poderoso es el elogio de parte de ellos. Lo mismo ocurre con Dios. Cuanto más usted lo conozca, más tiene que alabarlo y más profundo y más personal es su alabanza. En la medida …

Praise Flows From Relationship

I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. John 15:15   When someone who doesn’t know you very well compliments something you’ve done, it feels nice. But when someone who’s seen a lot of your work says, “Wow, that’s some of your best work yet,” it’s even better. The better you know someone, the more specific, personal and powerful your praise of them is. The same is true with God. The more you get to know him, the more you have to praise him about and the deeper and more personal your praise. You see, as you get …

Praise Puts God First

Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord, you his servants; praise the name of the Lord. Psalm 113:1   What is praising God all about? This quote by Myles Munroe sums it up well: “Praise is celebrating God as our heart’s true home.” And why is praise so vital? Because praise puts our focus on God, it puts him in first place. Often we put other things first in our lives. When we’re facing a problem, we put that problem first. It’s the first thing on our minds in the morning and it’s the last thing we think about at night. Now, I’m not saying that you shouldn’t deal with your problems. Ignoring a problem doesn’t make it go away; however, when you take the time …

La Alabanza Pone A Dios Primero

Leon FontaineEntregate

¡Aleluya! ¡Alabado sea el Señor! Alaben, siervos del Señor, alaben el nombre del Señor. Salmo 113:1   ¿De qué se trata la alabanza a Dios? Esta cita de Myles Munroe lo resume bien: “La alabanza está celebrando que Dios tiene su verdadero hogar en nuestro corazón”. ¿Y por qué la alabanza es tan vital? Porque la alabanza pone nuestro foco en Dios, lo pone en primer lugar. A menudo ponemos otras cosas en primer lugar en nuestras vidas. Cuando nos enfrentamos a un problema, ponemos ese problema primero. Es la primera cosa en nuestras mentes en la mañana y es lo último que pensamos en la noche. Ahora, no estoy diciendo que usted no debería lidiar con sus problemas. Ignorar un problema no lo hace …

Praise Makes Miracles Happen

Leon FontaineDevoted

About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them. Suddenly there was such a violent earthquake that the foundations of the prison were shaken. At once all the prison doors flew open, and everyone’s chains came loose. Acts 16:25-26   Over the past few days we’ve been talking about how praising God causes us to become more conscious of his presence, which creates the ideal environment for us to live our lives. Not only does praise cause us to become more aware of God’s love, peace and joy, but it also creates an atmosphere where the miraculous can happen. The events in Acts 16 illustrate this point very well. After angering the owners of …
