Mobile Daily Devotional with Pst. Fakunle Emmanuel Week 50, Day 7,  Saturday, 18th December 2021. 

TOPIC: WHEN TO PRAISE GOD 7: When Nothing Works.

Memory Verse: 1 Thess. 5:18.
“18 In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”

Bible Reading: Habb. 3:17-19.
“17 Though the fig tree may not blossom,  Nor fruit be on the vines; Though the labor of the olive may fail, And the fields yield no food; Though the flock may be cut off from the fold, And there be no herd in the stalls— 
18 Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation. 
19 The LORD God is my strength; He will make my feet like deer’s feet, And He will make me walk on my high hills. To the Chief Musician. With my stringed instruments.
Praising God should always be our way of life. God deserve our praises no matter what we are faced with. One of the most difficult situation to Praise God in is when things aren’t working at all. When all effort proved aborted, when harvest seems to be wasted. This time, one should find the strength to Praise God. When you feel like the world is against you, that your hope is crumbling, still you need to Praise God. Praising God is not accepting your condition but handing over, everything to God totally.
Prophet Habakkuk was analysing the worst situation that could ever happen to Him. As a farmer who has sown and planted seeds, if at harvest time he received nothing, he said, “He will still rejoice in the Lord.” When things doesn’t go our way, it’s the best time to praise God, to rejoice in the salvation of our Lord, because He will always have a way to handle our situation. When things are not working, Praise God for who He is and not because of your problem. Remember, giving God thanks and Praise is God’s command, He said, 
“In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” 1 Thess. 5:18
Giving thanks and praising God is the will of God for us always. You have no reason not to give God Praise. Give Him the Praise He’s due of.
Good Morning.
