Praise In
Problems!
"Blessed be the God and Father…
who comforts us in all our
tribulation."
2 Corinthians 1: 3-4
Renée Bondi is the quadriplegic who,
incredibly, writes about praising God,
even amid troubles.
“During the last two decades,” she wrote,
“I’ve learned many life lessons. I’ve been
in the valley of darkness and I’ve been
on
the mountaintop. One of the most valuable
lessons I’ve learned is how important, even
foundational, it is for believers
to praise our
Lord at all times.”
Our natural reaction to valleys of darkness is
collapse in panic attacks or fits of depression.
Most react with understandable fear
when
bad news comes.
When trouble comes in our life, one of our
first responses must be to praise God.
As
we praise Him for who He is, peace and
comfort will flood our heart and life.
Take a moment today to praise
God for who He is and all
He
has done for you.
"We’re to give praise continually.
How? By remembering God, including
Him in our day
and filtering whatever
happens through His perspective."
