Praise In the Presence of GodSample
Sacrificial Lamb
The power of one emotion overthrew the other—joy overcame shame.
Calvary was a reasoned, predetermined plan in the Father’s counsels, and agreed to before all worlds by the Son, who knew He would become the sacrificial Lamb. In intellectual terms, it was all settled. But at Gethsemane, passion rises and blood-sweat oozes from the pores of the God-man who is caught in the emotion and tension of actualizing the redemptive plan.
Indeed, there is a beauty and balance to the whole of His Word and His way, but it can only be realized with passion.
A Passion for Fullness

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.
