We should always be wearing the garment of praise, not just waving a palm-branch now and then.

Thanksgiving is the very air of heaven.

There is one Ear that listens to every note of praise from everyone of His people. Never say, "I need not praise Him--He will not miss me out of the choir." But remember, "Bless the Lord, O MY soul."

Why should we be afraid to rejoice, when God is not afraid to trust us with joy?

Jacob said, "I shall go down to the grave with sorrow." What a mistake! How wrong he was! He went down singing!

Scripture says, "All joy and peace in believing." ALL joy, complete joy, that will fill every crevice of your vacant heart and ALL peace. that will not allow room for fear.

God's people sometimes have fits of seasickness in sailing to Immanuel's Land, when they give place to hard thoughts about God. But the oil of joy calms down the waves of trouble.

When we grumble to one another, we grow discontented and bitter, and that is greiving the Holy Spirit. But when we go and tell the Lord, it has a very different effect. We get tenderness and sympathy from Him.

If you are a child of God, there is nothing in the world you cannot live without, and you can have a heaven even when you lack other things.
