Praise Before the Building Starts

“And they sang together by course in praising and giving thanks unto the LORD; because he is good, for his mercy endureth for ever toward Israel. And all the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised the LORD, because the foundation of the house of the LORD was laid.”

Ezra 3:11 (KJV) |

What This Means for You

The foundation was barely laid when the people began praising God. They did not wait until the temple was finished. They praised at the foundation stage. You do not have to wait until the answer arrives, the healing is complete, or the door opens. Praise God for the foundation. He has already started the work.

Try This Today

Think of one thing in your life that is still under construction, not finished yet. Thank God out loud for the foundation He has already laid, even though the building is not done.
