Praises

Praise to the LORD for he is good!

In the moments when life is gray and cloudy and unclear and hard and confusing....I need to remember these times when the sky is clear, the sun is shining, and my mouth overflows with praises to God. He is GOOOOOOOOOD!! I think he gifts us with these mountain-top views for when we are in the valley and all we see is a mountain behind us and a mountain ahead of us, and are in darkness. Read the end of Habbakuk (3:17-19). In fact, I'll post it for you =)

Though the fig tree should not blossom,
nor fruit be on the vines,
the produce of the olive fail
and the fields yield no food,
the flock be cut off from the fold
and there be no herd in the stalls,
yet I will rejoice in the Lord;
I will take joy in the God of my salvation.
God, the Lord, is my strength;
he makes my feet like the deer's;
he makes me tread on my high places.
