Praise In the Presence of GodSample
God’s Ways or Mine?
Sooner or later we need to come to terms with this dilemma: God’s ways . . . or mine? Wisdom recommends we learn to align ourselves with God’s thoughts and ways. It is crucial not only to our growth as believers, but to our fulfillment as the Father’s children. I need to teach myself to say, “Yes, this seems like a good and sensible course of action on the surface . . . but what does the Father have to say? What is His mind on this thing?”
His word of promise, His law of wisdom, and His Spirit’s prompting within—when allowed reign over and above my mind—have a way of nudging me beyond the limits of human “sense” toward the horizons of holy “hope.”

About this Plan
Pastor Jack Hayford points the way to the life-changing pathway of praise. No matter how you feel, praise will shape what your experiences will become. When doubts come, praise God that His Word will never fail you. When fears taunt, praise God that His presence never leaves you. When questions arise, praise God that His wisdom holds every answer. Praise leads you to the One who assures peace beyond strife, hope beyond trial, joy beyond sorrow, and life beyond all.
