Now, when is it time to praise? Oh, you say, when everything is going right, and getting into shape, and the troubles of life are vanishing away, then is the time to praise. Ah, praise comes easy then, but the time to glorify God the most by praise is when it is the sacrifice of praise. Not the praise which comes from seeing all things look right, but the praise which comes from simple faith in Jesus, even before the dark clouds have rolled away. Praise at such times is called "the sacrifice of thanksgiving," because it is a real sacrifice.
