Psalms 34:2-3 My soul makes its boast in the LORD; let the afflicted hear and be glad. O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together!
There are some days where one’s spirit within oneself does not feel right, like there is something wrong but you just do not know what. The sky is heavy with clouds and much needed rain has fallen on many parts of the land, yet your land is dry. It seems that so many things have to happen, decisions made and the day appears to be cluttered with so many issues, yet what about me in all of this?
It is at such times that we need to realise that our feelings are dependant on our mood and responses to others around us including exposure to the media. How we feel varies, but the facts of who we are and who we believe in does not, and it is in times like these that no matter our affliction, our poverty, or how we feel, we are able to praise and give thanks to God. The moment we start to sing, the moment we realise that our God is bigger than our feelings, our spirits lift with the joy of praise.
Be encouraged today to praise God no matter how we feel.
David
Point to ponder: Praise turns sadness into joy.
Question to consider: Do you sing when you are sad?
