“Are there any believers in your fellowship suffering great hardship and distress? Encourage them to pray! Are there happy, cheerful ones among you? Encourage them to sing out their praises!”
James (Jacob) 5:13 TPT
When you suffer great hardship and distress you want to talk, complain and cry. However, prayer and praise lifts the spirit above the circumstances and causes you to fly.
We find it easier to sing joyful songs when happy, however, we see in the Old Testament when going into battle the singers would go out front. I am sure they sang songs reminding God of His goodness and encouraging the warriors that what God did once He will do again. This sort of worship is so good for the soul.
When things are good we should give thanks for it is God who makes things good. He is worthy to be praised! Amen!
