Written by Keri Eichberger, a contemporary minister and writer.

Can you remember when you weren’t feeling as joyful as you should’ve been? Or found yourself sad for no reason? Or maybe you did have a good reason to be down, but knew you had even more reason to smile and be thankful. I get it. Some days I’m a bit blue and can’t quite understand why. Sometimes it seems to stem from something silly. And then there are moments, like when I was getting ready to have a big surgery and had been struggling through lots of disappointment, but still knew in my heart that God was immensely good and deserving of so much praise. Praise. That is the key. I’ve been down dark roads before, and offering up praise to my good God was always the way out. I just needed that reminder. I needed it then, I need it now, and I’m guessing you might need this reminder too, time and again. There really is so much blessing wrapped up in our praise of the one who deserves it all.

Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord! [Psalm 150:6]
