Lately i've been thinking about the phrase "sacrifice of praise." We sing it a lot, but i've never really sat down and thought about what it means. I guess you could look at it in different ways, but i saw it in a way that challenged my personal life. When you think of the word "sacrifice", I bet you don't get a picture of a really happy person giving up something. In my mind, i think of a man leaving something at the altar that might be hard for him to give away. Something he'd rather keep and use later. Maybe giving it inconvenienced him. At times when I am going through a rough patch in life, praise is the last thing i want to give to God. It's hard, it's inconvenient, and sometimes i wonder if i even believe what i am singing or saying. It's a sacrifice. It's praise. It's a sacrifice of praise. But a sacrifice always brings a reward. So i'm bringing it to the altar, no matter how i feel!
Just a short thought.
