How’s Life Treating You?

“Is anyone among you afflicted (ill treated, suffering evil)? He should pray. Is anyone glad at heart? He should sing praise (to God)”. In whatever state of being you find yourself in, there’s always an answer to why you’re there. Sometimes it’s self inflicted and sometimes it’s just life showing up when things go south. We can write our own ticket concerning most of our circumstances and life experiences, by keeping God in the mix. When we are in a time of jubilee, everything’s going really well on every side of life, that’s when we can sing praises to God, we are loving life. Then the other side of life comes in like a bat outta hell to mess you up. And this is when we force ourselves to sing praises to God. After a time of praising and worshipping God, His presence comes in and takes over, that’s when we feel the Lord’s comfort and peace caressing us. Yes, sing praises to God when all is well, but more so when you’re going through your wilderness experience of trouble. No matter what state of mind or being you are in there’s a way out. Storms and fiery trials always eventually pass, it’s how you handle yourself while you’re in the smoke that counts. Let the true piety of your experience be known.
