Summary

In this uplifting episode of The Compelled Podcast, Emma Mae McDaniel invites listeners into part two of her four-part series, Choosing to Praise. Emma reminds us that remembering God’s past faithfulness strengthens our present praise. Reflecting on Psalm 63 and the story of her daughter’s bubble baths, Emma beautifully illustrates how God gently reassures us — “I’ve always taken care of you, and I always will.” Through Scripture and personal reflection, she encourages us to recall the moments when God has provided, guided, and carried us, so that memory itself becomes a reason to lift our hearts in worship. https://www.emmamaemcdaniel.com/books - Learn more about your ad choices.

0:00.0	What's up, what's up? Incredible loved and value people. I am MMA McDaniel and I am so honored that I get to welcome you today to the compelled podcast.
0:19.0	Guys, whether you are hopping on YouTube or you are on or you are just
0:24.7	listening in I am thankful that you're here I am so thankful that we get to be
0:31.0	encouraged in the Word of God today and you are in for such a fun treat because we are
0:36.8	in part two of a four-part series of praise being
0:40.8	compelled to praise the Lord and so if you haven't listened to part one last week I pray that it is
0:46.0	such an encouragement to you to that you would praise God because he's worthy that you would
0:53.6	that God's character and who he is and what he has done
0:59.1	would compel you to praise him instead of allowing your feelings and your circumstances to
1:05.0	determine whether or not you're compelled to praise him. Because if our feelings and our circumstances
1:10.4	are the source of whether or not we're compelled to praise God. Because if our feelings and our circumstances are the source of whether or not
1:13.1	we're compelled to praise God, then it's going to be, we're going to praise him whenever we feel like it.
1:20.3	We're going to praise him whenever we're going through things that look good to us. But we're not
1:27.2	going to praise him whenever we're having a bad day. We're not going to praise him whenever we're having a bad day.
1:29.3	We're not going to praise him whenever we don't feel like it.
1:31.3	We're not going to praise him when things aren't panning out the way that we thought or hoped that they would.
1:37.3	But whenever his character, whenever his presence, whenever his authority, whenever his nearness,
1:43.3	whenever his faithfulness, his worthiness,
1:46.5	is what compels our praise. That is when his praise will always be on our lips. That is when our
1:52.8	inmost being and all that is within us will praise the Lord at all times and we will give thanks to
1:57.7	him no matter what we're feeling and no matter what we're walking through
2:01.0	because it's he who compels our praise. So I pray that that episode is just such a blessing to you.
