Not easy

It's not easy to be happy all the time. It's not easy to praise God through the bad times, but it's vitally important we do so. When life is at it's toughest, your fighting with your spouse, your kids are disobeying you, your job is hard, your finacial problems are at their peak, it's not easy. But we should try our best, no matter what, to praise Him through the rain. The bad times are the times when we are facing trials and tests, and those are the times God wants to see how faithful and enduring we can be. Those are the times to look to heaven and shout for joy and proclaim that He is Lord and ruler over all and how awesome of a Lord is He, that He loves us so much that He gave His Son for us!!
