When things are going wrong in our lives,it's difficult to give thanks to God. But when you do praise God in everything,it expresses faith-faith in the God who knows what He's doing; faith in the God who sovereignly rules in all that happens to us. We must believe this matter of fact that everything works out for good to those who love God. Suppose your child walks around in tattered cloths, who does it badly reflect on? As a parent it reflects badly on you. When we have accepted Jesus Christ as Our lord and savior, we become the children of God. If we, the children of God, walk around in defeat, it reflects badly on God.Our heavenly Father is so great that He won't let that happen. So relax and watch Him turning your defeat into victory. Have faith in His authority over everything and hope for His grace and mercy toward you and love Him with all your heart, soul, mind and strength. Because at the end of the day that's all that counts.
