Hebrews 13:15 says, “Therefore, let us offer through Jesus a continual sacrifice of praise to God, proclaiming our allegiance to his name”[NLT]. The truth about sacrifice is that it hurts, and it is costly. A sacrifice takes effort. When God says, ‘offer a sacrifice of praise,’ it means that sometimes you will not feel like praising God. However, because you know the why of praise, you are able to praise God regardless of how you feel and then it becomes a sacrifice of praise. Sometimes, we have so much going on plus an endless prayer list and it makes praise tough. Guess what? You really cannot separate sacrifice and praise. Perhaps, just perhaps, heaven is saying, it is time to switch to praise. Spend the same amount of time you have spent praying, in praising God and watch what will happen.
