To Praise Or Not?

orchidee



To praise or not?

Praising the Lord can sometimes be a 'sacrifice' of praise

We may not feel like it, or not want to praise

 

Yet He is the same God, the same Lord

Loving, faithful, true, great, bringing salvation, etc

 

No need to be envious or jealous of others

Who may have more lively church services

Or more restrained type of praise

Though it's not escapism

From the troubles and trials we all have at times

Not some Cuckoo Land

Of disregarding or ignoring troubles, trials, sufferings

In our own or in other's lives

 

Whether we seem to have a mostly comfortable life

Or whether it seems one trouble after another

We can still praise.....

And of course we can praise Him inside and outside of church

In our daily lives and situations

 

Woof! Write some more hymn-poems soon, says Fido to me

Get inspiration again, and get your mojo back

(Though not meaning 'mojo' in any magical sense)

Just wait until I put me earplugs in

Then you can so-called sing - or screech - each one of 'em

About 50 times each

As you usually do!

Heehee.
