Praising Gods Word

When I am afraid, I put my trust in you. In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I shall not be afraid. What can flesh do to me? --Psalm 56:3-4

What do we typically mean when we say "I'm going to praise God?" I think we would typically say that we praise God by proclaiming how great he is with our mouth. We praise God in a worship service by singing truth about him. We praise God when we are given an opportunity to speak his name to an unbeliever.

What are we to do then when we are afraid? We are to praise God's word. What does it mean then to praise God's Word? I think it means that we proclaim his word. We speak forth his word. We open our mouths and we proclaim the Bible to our own hearts.

When we are clinging to and trusting in God's Word, we are trusting in God himself. When fear arises in your heart, open your mouth and speak fourth what you know to be true about God.
