Oh, give thanks to the LORD! Call upon His name; Make known His deeds among the peoples!
I think that it is important to give thanks to God, even on days, we might even say, especially on days, when all is not as we would want it to be. Giving thanks to Him in trying times expresses faith in God’s wisdom and power not only that He will work all things for good but that He is, even now doing so. Our testimony to those around us should always express faith in the absolute goodness of God, even when, especially when, it seems to appear that He isn’t good. Why? Because He is good. And, it is good for us to gratefully walk in faith believing this, even when, especially when, we do see it. The importance of faith is not seeing to believe but believing in order to see. 11/28/07 ts
