For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jer 29:11
It is always easy to shout with joy to the Lord when we feel joy.
It’s not so easy, however, when things are bad, when we are in the worst of situations imaginable, when we are in that crucible. Yet, friends, the good book says that, even in such circumstances we ought to continue praising the Lord.
Praising God at all times, may not always be natural to us, but when we practice praise so that it becomes a natural part of our lives, it has the power both to convert and conquer.
Bottom line, when we get to the point when we understand that God has a plan for us and that all the experiences we undergo are all part of the master plan, then and only then will we be happy.
