After James 5:13-20
Do you suffer?
Sing praise!
Do you ail in body
or heart? Sing
praise! Do you
hurt? Is your
heart sick?
Sing praise!
Praise is not
the first thing
we think of
when we’re sick,
when we suffer.
But to sing praise
is an act of
submission,
acknowledging
the One,
celebrating
the One, even
as we suffer.
He is there.
His is always
there.

He is always there, and that's reason enough to sing praise. Blessings, Glynn!
