A MAN was converted some years ago, and his heart was full of praise. He used to preface everything he said with, “Praise God!”
One day he came with his finger all bound up. He had cut it, and cut it pretty bad, too. Well, I wondered if he would praise God for this. On entering he said:
“I have cut my finger, but, praise God, I didn’t cut it off!”
This man was truly carrying out the exhortation given to us in 1 Thess. 5:18,
“In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.”
