[h=6]Deuteronomy 8:17-18
"Otherwise, you might say in your heart: My own strength, and the power of my own hand, have brought forth all these things for me.But remember the Lord your God, that he himself has provided you with strength, so that he may fulfill his covenant, about which he swore to your fathers, just as the present day reveals."
All that you're blessed with comes from the Lord. Without His strength and help you will have nothing and you will be nothing. When in need we pray to the Lord for the strength to get through the difficult obstacles in front of us but it's most important to not forget to praise Him AFTER He has granted you with the answers to you prayers. Often times we tend to remember Him most when we need His help. But He doesn't want that. He wants to be remembered ALL of the time. He doesn't take a break from answering your prayers or listen to you. So why should He have to wait for the bad times only to hear from you? The heart speaks much louder when in pain and the melody it outer is heard by the Lord with heart felt sympathy. BUT when we rejoice in the Name of the Lord in good times He is filled with joy as well. He asks us to rejoice in His name whenever we are happy or sad or just unsure. Praise Him no matter what circumstance you're going through. He is the one and ONLY way.
Peace,love,joy[/h]
