Praise Him No Matter What

"Praise ye the Lord. O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever."   
                                                                  Psalm 106:1


Today has had a lot of good and a lot of bad in it. I got a wonderful grade on that test I was talking about yesterday...of which I am still thanking the Lord over and over again! But, sadly this evening another one of our does kidded - prematurely. The babies had around a month left to go before they were supposed to enter this world. But they came anyway...and they died. They were just too young. My heart is still aching that somehow the Lord would have allowed them to wait until their due date. It is very hard to praise God during hard times. I have to admit, I was having a little trouble with that when this happened. However, I'm slowly accepting it now. But God has still been so good to us. As I have said more than once on this blog...there is a reason for the hard time you are going through right now. It's obviously His will and we need to learn to accept it. PRAISE HIM NO MATTER WHAT. He knows what's good for you. He has something good that's just waiting to come out of this trial you're facing. To tie this series of "how to handle trials" posts...Trust in God and Don't give up on Him! HE KNOWS BEST.
Praise God at all times, praise God for what He has done for you, give Him praise for everything He's given you, praise Him for the life you are living, praise God for the family and friends you have to encourage you to "keep going no matter what!", praise God for dieing on the cross for your sins, praise Him for the forgiveness He's has given you, praise Him that you dont' have to go to hell, praise God for all the people he has allowed you to encourage and possibly lead to Christ, PRAISE GOD!!! Give Him the praise he deserves. 
I pray that in everything you do, God will have the glory and honor, and HE alone will have your praise.
