“From the rising of the sun, to its going down, the Lord’s name is to be praised,” wrote the Psalmist. It’s pretty easy, as the morning light moves across dew laden grasses, chasing away the shadows left over from the night, offering a brand new day, to praise and thank the Lord. As the sun slowly sinks into the horizon, turning the sky into a blaze of reds and oranges, it’s easy to be awed by His majestic beauty and humbly thank and praise Him. But what about all the time in between? When you’re stuck in traffic and late for work? When your boss tells you they have to make cut backs and you’re laid off? When the doctor delivers your test results? When a hurricane surges through your house? When another snowbird almost drives you off the road? King David’s life didn’t travel an easy path but still he wrote, “I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.” God is the God of the mountain top, He is the God of the deepest valley, in good times, in bad times, He is the same. He is there for us, He has provided His salvation for us, He will be there to comfort and help us whatever the times. How can we not seriously praise Him at any time from the depth of our hearts for all He does and has done for us? Isaiah wrote, “Inasmuch as these people draw near to Me with their mouths and honor Me with their lips, but have removed their hearts far from Me.” Does that hit DC on the head or what? He knows people’s hearts, He knows your heart! Strive, every day, all day, in all things, with a humble, thankful heart, to praise His holy name!
