Psalm 34:1-3
I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul shall make her boast in the LORD; the humble shall hear of it and be glad. Oh, magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt His Name together.
Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks, therefore, when your heart if fixed on the LORD, praise is a natural outpouring. It is wise to have a daily heart-check to see where your heart is focused. A divided heart, has trouble continually praising GOD, so our task is to keep our heart in close relationship with GOD.
Psalm 1 tells us: Do not walk in the council of the ungodly, or stand in the way of sinners, or sit in the seat of the scornful. Delight in the LORD and meditate on His Word. This is a very strong key to keeping the heart in close relationship with GOD. Your environment must be Godly and your delight should be in the Word of the LORD.
To put it simply, have Godly associations, read the Scripture and pray to the LORD.
Remember that praise is: 1. Commanded by GOD; 2. Glorifies GOD; 3. Pleases GOD; 4. Progresses higher; 5. Is a weapon; 6. Opens doors.
The Apostle Paul tells us to "Pray without ceasing". "Praise continually in the mouth" is praise without ceasing.
LET US EXALT HIS NAME TOGETHER
