There is nothing that pleases the Lord so much as praise. There is no test of faith so true as the grace of thanksgiving.

Are you praising God enough? Are you thanking Him for your actual blessings that are more than can be numbered, and are you daring to praise Him even for those trials which are but blessings in disguise? Have you learned to praise Him in advance for the things that have not yet come?
