sixth question

The sixth question to ask yourself if you don’t feel like praising God is suggested by today’s text. Have you ever found yourself in a dark place because you obstinately rejected God’s counsel? Remember how bad you felt, and how free you felt after God rescued you from that dark place? Our God is available to forgive and restore. Praise him for that!
