Today is truly another Thankful Thursday. It's been a stressful week for me. With the new tarrifs put on us at the last minute, there was a new program I had to learn associated with Canada Post. It was not straightforward and I had a hard time navigating it. I had tried all day Tuesday and yesterday involved tears, prayer and eventual success. I was so thankful! But here's how that stress affects me - it attacks my body. It increases my pain levels, sends me into flare-up and can leave me suffering for days. But here's the thing, even through those painful and challenging days we are called to praise God. Not just during the lower pain days, not just when we're on that mountain top, we need to praise Him in the valley too. I can't say I always remember this. There are days where I just can't think. But I've grown so much in my faith, that I know He knows my heart. He knows I love Him and He gives me grace. It's so amazing how gratefulness and praise affects us. It takes our minds off of ourselves and refocus' us onto God and His goodness. Let's praise Him in all circumstances. Even in the valley.
Isaiah 61:10
I will greatly rejoice in the LORD;
my soul shall exult in my God,
for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation;
he has covered me with the robe of righteousness,
as a bridegroom decks himself like a priest with a beautiful headdress,
and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
