The Law of the Higher Potential - Robert Collier
P-R-A-I-S-E
Did you ever notice that if you leave off the P
from the word Praise, what you have left is Raise
?
That is no mere accident, for wise men have realized for thousands of years that to praise is to raise the spirits and increase the power of the one praised. In the same way, praise of God and thankfulness for His gifts raises the spirits of the one who sings those praises to the heights of rare accomplishment.
Just as praise and thanksgiving freed Paul and Silas from the chains of the dungeon, so can they free you from worry and fear and the dungeons of dark despair. I will sing unto Jehovah,
sang the Psalmist of old, because He hath dealt bountifully with me.
And if we would have Him deal bountifully with us, it behooves us to praise and be thankful for the good we now have, no matter how small that good may seem to be.
The righteous doth sing and rejoice,
we are told in the Scriptures. And the Hebrew word used for sing
means to sing out loud, even to shout for joy.
To sing with joy is one of the long-neglected truths of POWER. The Sons of God shouted for joy.
The Kingdom of Heaven is the Kingdom of Expansion, and the way to expand what we have is through praise and joy and thanksgiving. Seldom indeed in the Bible do you find that God provides supply out of thin air. Almost always He requires the recipients of His bounty to start with what they have. The widow with the oil and meal, that other widow with a little oil, the feeding of the multitudes with the loaves and fishes, and scores of other cases, all started with the supply in hand. God expanded what they had. And God will expand what you have, if you rightly use the power of praise and thanksgiving.
But mere expansion is not enough. You might expand all the water in the world into steam, and get no good from it— if you had no engine in which to use the steam. You must have a purpose in mind if you are to get the utmost of good from your expansion. You must set a goal. You must plan the form in which that expanded energy is to make itself manifest. It can be in your body, in your circumstances, in your surroundings—in anything of good you may desire.
Some years ago the Journal of Education
had a story that expressed this idea clearly. There was once a prince,
it read,
who had a crooked back. He could never stand straight up like even the lowest of his subjects. Because he was a very proud prince, his crooked back caused him a great deal of mental suffering.
One day he called before him the most skilful sculptor in his kingdom and said to him: Make me a noble statue of myself, true to my likeness in every detail, with this exception—make this statue with a straight back. I wish to see myself as I might have been.
For long months the sculptor worked, hewing the marble carefully into the likeness of the prince, and at last the work was done, and the sculptor went before the prince and said: The statue is finished; where shall I set it up?
One of the courtiers called out: Set it before the castle gate where all can see it,
but the prince smiled sadly and shook his head. Rather,
said he, place it in a secret nook in the palace garden where only I shall see it.
The statue was placed as the prince ordered, and promptly forgotten by the world, but every morning and every noon and every evening, the prince stole quietly away to where it stood and looked long upon it, noting the straight back and the uplifted head and the noble brow. And each time he gazed, something seemed to go out of the statue and into him, tingling in his blood and throbbing in his heart.
The days passed into months and the months into years; then strange rumors began to spread throughout the land. Said one: "The prince’s back is no longer crooked or
