HALLELUJAH means to praise God. Some people go through life and never know the blessing we experience when we praise God and say HALLELUJAH to the Lord. Then there are others who have a beautiful relationship with Jesus and they love to say HALLELUJAH for all His blessings. When difficult times come it’s harder to say HALLELUJAH; however, our goal as we mature in our faith is to praise God and still be able to say HALLELUJAH in tough times. It’s one of the mountain peaks of spirituality that we hope to reach as we grow in our faith. People of faith like Paul, John, and others were still praising God in the midst of difficulties. Our HALLELUJAH may not be perfect – it may be a BROKEN HALLELUJAH – but it still touches the heart of God when we let Him know we believe He is very meticulously, intimately, providentially, and even miraculously working in our lives between here and heaven – in good times and in bad. Read Romans 5:1-5; 8:18, 11:33-36 and then listen to Broken Hallelujah by The Afters.

Romans 5:1-5

Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we also have obtained our introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand; and we celebrate in hope of the glory of God. And not only this, but we also celebrate in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope; and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
