I will praise the Lord at all times; his praise will always be on my lips. (Psalm 34:1)
Years ago, a pastor began using the catchphrase, "Won't He do it!" during the celebration part of his sermon. Before long, many of his congregants began using the phrase. Now a lot of Christians use the phrase. However, they use it only half the time when the phrase can and should be used.
The phrase is used most of the time when things have gone right. People usually say, "Won't He do it!" on some of the following occasions:
- when they got a raise
- when they got married
- when they moved to a bigger house
- when they got a new car
The above-mentioned occasions are good times when people should praise God for blessing them by giving them the desires of their hearts.
The big mistake is that people do not say, "Won't He do it!" when things aren't going great, and they feel they are not being blessed. They should use the phrase when they do not get the things they want just as frequently as they use the phrase when they have gotten what they wanted.
Therefore, people should also use the phrase on the following occasions:
- while waiting for the raise they deserve
- when their desire is to get married
- when they need a bigger house for their family
- when their old car keeps breaking down
God is the same God who blesses in good times and in bad times. To be biblically correct, praise God during both of those times.
Say, "Won't He do it!" for the great things God has done in the past. Also say, "Won't He do it!" for the great things God will do in the future.
