PRAISE DECREASES STRESS
…they offered great sacrifices, and rejoiced: for God had made them rejoice with great joy; the wives also and the children rejoiced: so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard even afar off. (Nehemiah 12:42-43 KJV)
Seven words I found in this passage of the Bible, of everything that provokes praises to God:
1. Songs.
2. Loud voice.
3. Rejoicing.
4. Recreation.
5. Joy.
6. Contentment.
7. Boasting.
Who participated?
Families: Men, women and children. It looks like a Sunday in Eagles CFC.
If you are going through a difficult situation, if you are under stress, depression, etc. I invite you to start praising God with songs, and you can experience all these things in your life, God will flood you with faith and hope, renew your strength and give peace to your heart.
