I have learned that in every circumstance that comes my way, I can choose to respond in one of two ways: I can whine or I can worship! And I can't worship without giving thanks. It just isn't possible. When we choose the pathway of worship and giving thanks, especially in the midst of difficult circumstances, there is a fragrance, a radiance, that issues forth out of our lives to bless the Lord and others. Nancy Leigh DeMoss
About This Quote

It is possible to be grateful and worship at the same time. The Bible tells us in Psalms to “praise the Lord with voice, with trumpet, and with harp” (Psalm 29:3). That means we can praise God when things are going well, when things are going poorly, when things are going to go our way, and when things are not going our way. When you are thankful for all that God has given you, then you can be worshiping God at the same time. When you are thankful for all that God gives to you through your family, through your work, through your health, through your community, through your friends, through your church, or through your countrymen or women, then you can be worshipping God. Some people live their lives so busy being so busy that they do not have time to worship. But it is essential to worship.
