Through Him, therefore, let us constantly and at all times offer up to God a sacrifice of praise, which is the fruit of lips that thankfully acknowledge and confess and glorify His name.
Hebrews 13:15
A sacrifice of praise. Why would praise be a sacrifice? Webster’s says surrender means the surrender of something for the sake of something else. That’s what true worship is, we are surrendering our glory for the glory of God.
Three things are stated here, acknowledge, confess and glorify.
Acknowledge, we need to acknowledge our need for Christ in our lives, we need to acknowledge that He is Lord and in control and do it thankfully!
Confess, again we need to confess our need for Him, our shortcomings, our Daunters. We can’t fix problems until we confess they exist.
Glorify, we need to put God back in the highest position in our lives. We need to give Him the praise.
When our hearts are focused on glorifying God then the fruit of that will show and be seen by all. Can you surrender your worry and stress today and sing a hallelujah that acknowledges and glorifies God’s name?
