Don't let your environment dictate your praise!

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

I feel led by God to part this word before you. Do not let your environment or conditions dictate your praise to God. Why do i say this? Because in most cases our environment has a negative or positive impact on us in the physical and also the spiritual. We all come from different roots, some have it alot easier than others, and well others have it really tough, where they feel  stuck in their situations of life, everyone is against you, nothing seeming to go right and so on.

The dictionary defines environment as the surroundings or conditions a person or thing inhabits. What i want to get through to us is that our environment can heavily impact our outlooks on life, and what we do later in life. As you notice a child that grows up with a loving family will most likely prosper later in life, and learn many valuable lessons. But a person that grows up in a abusive house hold will most likely turn out to be a menace to society. This is not always the case but we see how important our environment can be. And this what the devil use to cripple our praises to God. Even though our surroundings and conditions are are not so great we can take solace in the fact that God will keep us no matter the condition.
Isaiah 43:2 says When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. Isn't this proof enough that God will keep us? The song writer says Some through the water, some through the flood, some through the fire, but all through the blood. This is why i want to encourage us all to keep the faith, to stay strong and trust God. while the situations get dreary know that you're covered!

God Bless
