Did you know what the cure is for discouragement and sadness?  In today’s reading of the One Year Bible, it declares the remedy for sorrow is putting your hope in the Lord and praising Him! 

It’s difficult to be depressed and sad when you’re praising the Lord.  Go ahead, try it.  What happens is that you begin to praise your way right out of feeling sorry for yourself.  You start counting your blessings and thinking about how awesome and wonderful our God truly is.  When you do that, your soul gets lifted up and before long your problems begin to shrink in the light of the vastness of an almighty Heavenly Father who loves you more than you can comprehend.

So, what’s it going to be for you today?  You can either sit around singing, “Nobody knows the trouble I’ve seen.”  Or, you can choose to sing, “How great is our God, sing with me, how great is our God!”  Try it, it worked for David, it works for me, and I bet it will work for you!
