Praising God!

PSALM 30 No matter what life throws at us, one thing we must do is praise the Lord for he alone is orchestrator of our lives. King David in writing this psalm is reminding us all that both good and bad come from the hand of the Lord so that this truth may be known: “And we know that all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose.” [Rom 8:28]  God has a purpose beyond what we can see at the moment so it is befitting that we praise Him in the highs and the lows. That means we must trust His plan; even if we don’t see the purpose. When we choose praise and prayer more than lamenting then we are able to have a mindset that honors the Lord. Maybe that is why King David wrote: “Then you turned my lament into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and covered me with joy.” [Ps 30:11]

Today stop and praise the Lord for His plan and purposes are higher than the heavens and thus we can dance with joy.
