Psalm 41:13...How is your Praise Today....

“Praise be to the Lord, God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Amen and Amen.”

Most of us find it easy to lift up praise on Sunday morning during worship or in a prayer group as we offer up our petitions before God, but what about on Tuesday afternoon after a difficult meeting or Wednesday when we get bad news about a loved one. Not much faith is required to praise God for the good things in our life, that should be natural for us as Christians. It is when we face the difficult times that we exercise our faith and extend our praise to God knowing that He is in control of all things and He has a plan for each of us. Imagine what Joseph felt like when he was sold to Egypt, even thrown in jail for something he did not do. Yet he continued to praise God and believe that God had a plan for his life. God used Joseph in a mighty way and He will use us as well to further His kingdom. Comforted in knowing this we should certainly praise God at every turn and praise Him for the ultimate plan He has for each of us.
