Praise God No Matter What

“God is good. All the time. All the time. God is good.” Just yesterday, someone explained to me the meaning of these words in his life in reference to a responsive reading his pastor had often shared. We don’t have to feel good for these words to be true. And that’s a wonderful thing!

Over the years, my husband, family, and I have walked the road of suffering and grief in the disease and loss of our precious girl, Taylor. Then just this year, both my husband and I experienced our fathers graduating to heaven. Throughout seasons of sorrow, I’m collected many lessons and tools to use in the face of sorrow. But throughout the years, I’ve discovered the strongest weapon in a Christian’s arsenal is PRAISE.

You may be asking the deepest of questions right now.

How do I praise God when suffering surrounds me and people are dying?

How do I praise God when one can never know what a day will hold?

If you are asking those questions, then this Bible reading plan is for you!

INTRODUCTION

Each month I host a monthly Bible reading plan and journal challenge to help our community enjoy reading God’s Word together and encourage our hearts to be faithful to Him.  Together, we have completed over 40 Bible reading plans, including both annual and monthly reading challenges. I’ve developed all sorts of strategies to help us read God’s word faithfully and there is nothing like this monthly system we are working through together.

Check out how I’m using this month’s plan on the Kindle Scribe!

August 2023 BIBLE READING CHALLENGE

Acts 16 describes the story of missionaries Paul and Silas, stripped, beaten, and bound in prison.  Paul and Silas have been placed with their feet in the stocks because the prison keeper has been charged to keep them safe.   But in spite of all they have endured, their bodies wrecked and their hearts ravaged, at midnight, Paul and Silas decide it is high time for a praise and worship session. They pray and sing praises to God. Suddenly an earthquake shakes the foundation of the prison, opening all the doors and breaking all the prisoners’ bands! That’s what praising God does! Praising God breaks strongholds.

I want to learn how to praise him anyway. Not only for what he does but for who he is. For his promises. For his mercy and grace. For his presence in the midst of storms. The list of reasons to praise is endless! So this month’s Bible reading challenge focus is? Praise Him Anyway!
