So let us praise!

Jesus says in John12: 27 - 28
"Now My soul is troubled, and what shall I say? 'Father, save Me from this hour?' But for this purpose I came to this hour. 'Father, glorify You name."

And though He is saying that for His own purpose, we can learn and live by it as well.  Instead of being anguished that we are in troubling times, we need to think that we are placed in this trouble for one reason or another. Perhaps it is to grow stronger, or perhaps so that we can know God will get us out of it, as only He can. His name should be glorified always. The Lord will do astounding things in us, if we only let Him. He wants to be glorified, so let us praise!
