```DESTINY DISCOVERY AND MOLDING MESSAGE```
♦ *TOPIC: AT THE FOUNDATION - PRAISE/THANKSGIVING*
*_By: Judah Olatunde_*

Ezra 2:10 And when the builders laid the  foundation of the temple of the Lord, they  set the priests in their apparel with  trumpets, and the Levites the sons of  Asaph with cymbals, to praise the Lord,  after the ordinance of David king of Israel.
11 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.

It is a common phenomenon that when most people are at the low level or state in life or when they are expecting the full manifestation of a blessing or when they have seen something little that God is doing, they don't rejoice and praise God as they should. So many even grumble and murmur when they have something which they consider to be too small in their eyes.

People hardly praise God until they have the full blessings from God. That is, the level of their excitements is not that much until they have everything they wanted or prayed for.

The children of Israel after laying the foundation which serves as just the beginning of the building engaged in high praise and shouted unto the Lord, they cried out for joy.
You will agree with me that, what it will cost to complete the whole building can never be compared to what it took to lay the foundation. The cost to finish a project is always more heavier than the cost to start it.

The house had not been fully built, yet they praised God. You may not have seen the fulfillment of all your expectations for this year but if you will lay it to heart to thank God for that which you've seen, you will definitely experience the power of God in an amazing manner.

*Insights For Today: Take time to thank Him for the little and you will experience the much in no time.*
*_Prayer Point: Dear Lord, I ask that you cloth me with the garment of praise. Help me to engage in quality praise this month and as I do, let me experience a shift and a drastic turnaround in Jesus name. Keep walking by faith_*
