Praise the Lord

Praise the Lord ! Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens! Praise him for his mighty deeds; praise him according to his excellent greatness! Praise him with trumpet sound; praise him with lute and harp! Praise him with tambourine and dance; praise him with strings and pipe! Praise him with sounding cymbals; praise him with loud clashing cymbals! Let everything that has breath praise the Lord ! Praise the Lord! (Psalms 150:1-6 ESV)

Do you feel like praising the Lord all of the time?

Does everything always go the way you want them to? (If so that is a different topic but I would say that means you are not actually following God…)

I have been without a call for almost 14 months and my families financial situation has gone from bad to worse. I have had to get a day job as a pre-k teaching assistant. I love working with the kids. It is kind of an extension of my call. The thing I have not lost through all of this is my lovely wife who has supported me and my family, my wonderful girls who are a blessing from God, or my faith in my savior who I know is always by me and with me.

So I can  say, I have not always wanted or felt like my situation had me in a mood to praise, but I have always praised my God with every breath of my life. Because without Him I truly am nothing and lost forever. But with God I can withstand anything this world will throw at me!

So in everything you do praise the Lord!
