But I will keep on hoping for your help; I will praise you more and more. Psalms‬ ‭71‬:‭14‬

The Psalmist in Psalm 71 is in the midst of a crisis. He feels alone. He feels attacked. He doesn’t understand what is going on around him. He is pleading for God‘s protection. He is pleading for deliverance from whatever is plaguing him. Yet in the midst of this, in the midst of his hope for deliverance, his attitude is one of praise. Whatever life throws at us, whatever struggles we may be going through, God inhabits the heart of praise and gratitude.

The questions of why something happens may never be answered here on earth. But whatever happens to us, we can remember it has to first to pass through the loving arms of our Heavenly Father.
