It's an interesting call for us, as long as we have breath to praise the Lord. I looked in my Bible and didn't see an asterisk next to those statements. Look in yours. There's nothing like; *"unless you have money problems," or *"as long as everything is going great." You've probably heard this all preached before, but did you know that praise (worship) can be a sacrifice? Did you know that you can worship when you don't feel like worshiping? In fact, you can count it a sacrifice to worship when you don't feel like it.

Ever get cut out on the freeway (highway, autobahn)? That crazy guy drives like his car is 1/3 its actual size and your only hope is to see him get stopped by the cops. That's a great time to praise. We might jump for joy if/when he does get stopped, but let's jump for joy in the midst of our anger too. Sound like an oxymoron? In every situation, ask yourself this question, "Am I breathing?" The answer to that will also be the answer to the question, "Should I worship?"  If you are, indeed, breathing, then, you should, indeed, worship. Get it?
