Fruitful Lips

Have you ever just stopped and called out, “Jesus!” …not in desperation or out of need, but just confessed and exalted the name of Jesus? Make an earnest effort to praise God through Jesus throughout the day. It is sometimes a challenge for some people to remember to praise God when good things happen, but what about when nothing happens? Can you find the strength to praise Him then? What’s even more challenging is to praise Him while you’re going through!

I think it is an awesome testimony for Daughters of the King, to continually praise and worship God through the fruit of the lips and by showing kindness to others. Make it your point to give God praise every hour today (everyday). Set a time each hour to just send up a thank offering. Then, dedicate yourself to give sacrificially to someone before the week is out. If you stick to this, God will be pleased and things will “pop” in your life. Now, go and be more like God designed His children to be.

Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise – the fruit of lips that confess His name. And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased. -Hebrews 13:15-16
Philippians 2:11 And every tongue [frankly and openly] confess and acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. - Philippians 2:11
