ISBN: 9781576737620 Chapter One An Introduction to Praise If you're just beginning to praise and worship, you'reon the threshold of a great adventure. You'll find thatyour gracious, mighty and majestic God is delightfulbeyond imagining. You'll discover what a high privilegeit is to praise Him! And whether you're a beginner orsomeone who has long understood the benefits of praise,you'll find that the more you glorify the Lord, the moreHe will refresh you and deepen your experience of Him. This book has been in the making for years. It wasborn during my years as a widow. It flowed out of truthsthat had long motivated me to trust and worship theLord in the varied seasons and experiences of my life-asa single girl in my native land ... as a young wifesojourning in Taiwan, in the Philippines, and in HongKong ... during my first husband's months of intense sufferingwith cancer before the Lord called himHome ... during my years as a widow with two youngchildren. Woven into this book you'll find truths about Godthat affirm A. W. Tozer's words: "The man who has Godas his treasure has all things in one, and he has it purely,legitimately, and forever." And you'll find truths that time and again havebrought me up short, enabling me to let God into theexperiences of my life, whether joyful or painful. Truthsthat confirm Hudson Taylor's reflections on John 7:37,written about the time his first wife, Maria, died: "If any man thirst, let him come unto Me and drink." Who does not thirst? Who has not mind-thirsts or heart-thirsts, soul-thirsts or body-thirsts? Well, no matter which, or whether I have them all- "Come unto Me and" remain thirsty? Ah, no! "Come unto Me and drink ." What, can Jesus meet my need? Yes, and more than meet it. No matter how intricate my path, how difficult my service; no matter how sad my bereavement, how far away my loved ones; no matter how helpless I am, how deep are my soul yearnings-Jesus can meet all. All, and more than meet. I discovered this in a new way after my first husbanddied at the age of 32. I grieved and shed my tears;I felt deep loneliness, along with the pressures of beingleft alone to raise two young children. At times I feltoverwhelmed at making all the family decisions. Yet at the same time I found bright rays of sunlightshining into my heart. How grateful I was to the Lord forHis many blessings: for Brian and Doreen and the joysof being their mother, for other people in my life andtheir loving help, for special answers to prayer, and forsmall delights, such as gazing at a sunset or a uniquebranch silhouetted against the sky. And even more, the Lord blessed me through timesof worship and praise, often with tears of joy mingledwith sadness. I found immense comfort as I expressed to theLord my grief at losing my loved one, and then let Himspeak words of love to my heart. Words like the first partof Isaiah 43:4: "You are precious in my eyes, and honored,and I love you" (RSV). Then I'd tell Him how gladI was that I still had my Most Beloved One with me:"Thank You, Lord, that I can enjoy Your love-the bestlove of all! Your love is intensely personal; it never fails.And with You I can enjoy an intimacy far beyond whateven the dearest earthly loved one could ever offer, forYou live in me and You're with me every moment, dayand night." As my human aloneness pressed me to loveand adore the Lord in new ways, He gave me joy in themidst of sorrow. As C. H. Spurgeon wrote, our griefs cannot marthe melody of our praise; they are simply the bass notesof our life song: "To God Be the Glory." The months pass
