READ: Psalms 107:1-9
1 O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
2 Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;
3 And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south.
4 They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in.
5 Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.
6 Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses.
7 And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.
8 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
9 For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.
MESSAGE
In 2 Samuel 6:14, the Bible says that David danced with all his might. God loved David so much and was always with him because he was always praising Him. Whenever demons tormented Saul and David played the harp, God's presence would fill the room, and the demons would run away (l Samuel 16:23). Psalm 22:3 says that God inhabits the praises of Israel. When you praise God regularly. demons cannot stay around you because once light comes in, darkness must flee (John 1:5).
Beloved, you must learn to praise God daily. In the Scriptures, you find many reasons to praise Him. In Genesis 17:1, Got calls Himself Jehovah El-Shaddai, the God who is more than enough. In Genesis 18:9-14 and Jeremiah 32:27, He is revealed as the God of all flesh, with whom nothing is impossible. in Exodus 15:26, He introduced Himself as the Lord that healeth thee" because He is the Great Physician. in Psalm 24:7-10, He introduced Himself by the titles: The King of glory and the Lord of hosts. In Psalm
23:1, He presents Himself as Jehovah Rohi, the Good Shepherd who provides everything you need. In Genesis 1613, He s El-Rol the All-seeing All-knowing, ever-attentive God. He cares intimately about you and knows you by name Exodus 33:17), In Jeremiah 32:17-19, He is El-Gibbor the mighty Cod who rescues. In Exodus 17:15, He is called Jehovah Nissi, your mighty banner of deliverance. In Isaiah 12:4, He is Jehovah Sabaoth, the Lord of hosts; He fight visible and invisible battles on your behalf and gives you victory over the enemy.
According to Ezekiel 48:35, He is Jehovah Shammah, the ever-present One, He is always there when you need Him, and He never slumbers or sleeps (Psalm 121:4). He is the Alpha and Omega of your life (Revelation 21:6; He always has the first and final say. (Isaiah 44:6), He alone is God (Psalm 86:10). He is always good (Psalm 73:1), ever faithful (Lamentations 323) all-sufficient (Genesis 17:1) and never changing (Malachi 3-61). God is your comforter (John 14:16), deliverer (2 Samuel 22:21), helper (Psalm 54:4), teacher (John 1426,) strength, and song (Exodus 15:2). He is your very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). He supplies all your needs according to His riches in glory (Philippians 4:19) and does exceeding, abundantly above all you can ask or think (Ephesians 3:20).

HYMN 17: PRAISE MY SOUL THE KING OF HEAVEN
1 Praise, my soul, the King of heaven;
to his feet your tribute bring.
Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven,
evermore his praises sing.
Alleluia, alleluia!
Praise the everlasting King!
2 Praise him for his grace and favor
to his people in distress.
Praise him, still the same as ever,
slow to chide, and swift to bless.
Alleluia, alleluia!
Glorious in his faithfulness!
3 Fatherlike he tends and spares us;
well our feeble frame he knows.
In his hand he gently bears us,
rescues us from all our foes.
Alleluia, alleluia!
Widely yet his mercy flows!
