When praises Go Up?
"When praises go up blessings come down" - I haven't found this specifically in the Word. Instead I have found that He is enthroned in the praises of "his people" (it says Israel in the bible). Psalm 22:3. I agree wholeheartedly that God's presence alone is the greatest of blessings, and mighty things happen in the Holy presence of God. Paul and Silas can attest to what praises can do. Acts 16:25-26. Indeed miracles are blessings.
So instead of focusing on praising God to get blessings (which we tend to denote as material or physical in many aspects) let's praise God for, or because of his blessings he's already given us: the blessing of new mercies, unfailing love, salvation through His name, and too many more to list. Let the praises go up and His glory come down. In his presence there is fullness of Joy. Psalms 16:11 Acts 2:28. That is the blessing.
