PRAISE T

GOD

in Everything

he last couple of years have been especially hard, given the pandemic, political strife and natural disasters. In times like these, it’s really easy to get stuck in a pattern of pessimism and overlook the many blessings in our lives. In our humanity, we often notice the prose, yet miss the poetry. We marinate in sorrows, but gloss over gifts. We dwell on past hurts instead of present hope. Indeed, our world is steeped in sin. The devil attacks relentlessly, seeking to destroy us. But Jesus already claimed the victory, and we know that, in the end, the sword of judgment will be overshadowed by His scepter of mercy. In the meantime, as we live through this great controversy, how can we cope? David provides a model approach. While facing life’s miseries, he acknowledged God’s mercies. His psalms and songs to God infused beauty and grace into dark and dismal days. And in doing so, David learned that God inhabits the praises of His people (Psalm 22). Cultivating a life of praise means that, regardless of our circumstances, we recognize that God is good, He is with us every step of the way, and we can trust Him through our trials. It means praising God in everything and waiting in hope for Christ’s triumphant return.

Join us in making 2022 a year of praise!

COLUMBIA UNION CONFERENCE

T he Columbia Union Conference, established in 1907 to coordinate the Seventh-day Adventist Church’s work in Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia and the District of Columbia, is part of the worldwide Protestant denomination of 21 million members in more than 200 countries. At the union level, we connect and provide administrative leadership, governance and support services to our conferences, schools, health care networks and ministries. Each year, our organizations sponsor dozens of programs and projects that address human needs, improve quality of life and introduce people to Jesus.
