Theme For David Jeremiah Devotional June 19 2020 – THERAPEUTIC PRAISE

Joshua fell on his face to the earth and worshiped, and said to Him, “What does my Lord say to His servant?”
Joshua 5:14

According to an American Psychiatric Association (APA) poll taken in 2018, nearly 40 percent of Americans are more anxious than they were in 2017. Likewise, eighteen percent of the population suffers from an anxiety disorder. That amounts to forty million American adults. Safety, health, and finances are said to be the greatest sources of anxiety.

These are difficult times, and people around the world are facing extraordinary levels of stress. Many need professional help, and multitudes need a reason to be hopeful.

Try praise. One of the greatest antidotes to mental stress is worship with thanksgiving. When we come before the Lord, recognize His blessings, bathe our souls in His glory, claim His promises, and sing His praises—well, it’s highly therapeutic to our souls. We don’t worship Him just for what we get out of it, of course. That would be counterproductive. Worship is all about Him, not us. But how good of God to bless us, as we bless Him.

Joshua was worried before leading Israel into battle. But he fell on his face, worshiped, listened to God’s instructions, and rose to conquer. We can do the same.

Worship: The spontaneous expression of the heart to the glory of God.
