Praise In the Presence of GodSample
Pathway of Triumph
Listen carefully, please. The path of the Cross is not to be mistaken or misunderstood.
It isn’t intended as a habit of commiserating over life’s tough stuff, while muttering, “I guess it’s just my cross.”
It isn’t a life of religious self-denial, pretending that a prudish, self-styled piety is what God calls for.
It isn’t a dour pathway that touts suffering and defeat as the ultimate expression of true holiness! Never!
The Cross is the pathway of surrender and of refusal to be dominated by selfishness or carnality. But beyond it all, at the bottom line, the Cross is a pathway of triumph!

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.
