Study Notes
Benefits of Praise
- Praise can be elusive during challenging times, but God wants us to give thanks in all situations.
- God sees and knows everything, offering solutions and purpose even in difficult circumstances.
- God is the author of our lives, and there are three life stages: those better than us, those we are better than, and those at our same level.
- Focusing on those better than us can lead to resentment and envy, whereas focusing on our own worth and praising God in all areas of life can be transformative.
- Keeping a daily journal of our achievements and reflecting on our worth can help us appreciate our blessings and avoid comparing ourselves to others.
- Life is a journey with various stages (ascending, plateau, descending), each demanding different approaches.
- Finding the right "gears" (approaches) for each stage is key to navigating life's journey effectively.
Biblical Examples (Genesis)
- Jacob's service for Rachel (seven years) and Laban's deception.
- Leah and Rachel's struggles with barrenness, and how God worked to bless them both.
- The naming of Jacob's children and the reasons behind the names, highlighting God's intervention in their lives.
- The importance of praising God despite challenges and difficulties.
