Resolved

“David praised the LORD in the presence of the whole assembly, saying, "Praise be to you, O LORD, God of our father Israel, from everlasting to everlasting.” – 1 Chronicles 29:10

 

In his book “When the Darkness Will Not Life”, Christian author John Piper says the following about praise: “Resolve to spend most of your time in thanksgiving and praising God. If you cannot do it with the joy that you should, yet do it as you can. You have not the power of your comforts, but have you no power of your tongues? Say not that you are unfit for thanks and praises unless you have a praising heart and were the children of God; for every man, good and bad, is bound to praise God, and to be thankful for all that he hath received, and to do it as well as he can, rather than leave it undone... Doing it as you can is the way to be able to do it better. Thanksgiving stirreth up thankfulness in the heart.”

 

Circumstances should not dictate whether you are thankful to the Lord. Today in prayer, give thanks to the Lord for He is very good.
