In the Bad Times

In the bad times, what should we do? It's time to praise God. Yes, that's right. Praise God in the midst of everything that has gone wrong. It's called the sacrifice of praise. It's always good to pray through difficult days and bad times, but it's also time to praise God

"Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name" (Hebrews 13:15).

It may seem strange to you to praise God when the bad times come. Most of us reason that you only praise God when things are going your way. However, believers should praise God all the time, and that includes the bad times. 

Praise recognizes that God is good all the time, even in the bad times. Our life situations may change fast, but our God changes not. His love, mercy and grace is constantly there for us.

Praise God in the bad times. Resolve to praise God when you understand, and when you don't. When things go wrong, it's time to praise God. Say to God, "Every day I will bless You, and I will praise Your name forever and ever" (Psalm 145:2).
