Isaiah 12:4 ” Give thanks to the Lord, call on His name; make known among the nations what He has done, and proclaim that His name is exalted.”

We tend to thank God when good things happen…when prayers are answered or people are healed.  But what about when things aren’t so good?  Can we still find gratitude within  pain and sorrow?  Can we be like Job, who after losing everything near and dear to him, exclaimed,” The Lord gives and the Lord takes away, may the name of the Lord be praised.”   Expressing gratitude to God within the storm moves our eyes off the chaos  around us and focuses it on above.
