“Praise ye the LORD: for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant; and praise is comely. He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds” (Psalm 147:1, 3).

You can discover that our awesome God is still wonderful even on your worst of days. In the course of my nearly fifty-three years of ministry, I have shared the deepest and most profoundly difficult life experiences with hundreds and hundreds of people. I have known that statement to be true because God’s Word clearly declares it.

God is to be praised in every situation of life. The praise of our awesome God is always the right thing to do. I will be honest with you when I say that it is easy to praise the Lord when everything is going well. But what about when life is hard and the worst of days are upon you? I can tell you from my personal experience, the whisper of praise because of Who He is, feeble as that grief-filled whisper may be, when life is at the hardest moment, will produce the sweetest song. I tell you that I know this to be true from personal experience. Honest! I really do.

There are many things I don’t understand. But this I know to be true: I don’t know what you are facing at this moment. But I can tell you that on your worst days God is still wonderful and fully worthy of your praise. Trust Him! He wants to bind up your wounds and heal your broken heart.
