This song by Casting Crowns, is probably one of my favorite songs. I think the message is simple: Choose to praise God despite your circumstances. I know that my situation and circumstances have not changed, but the way that I think about them, view them, and handle them has. I am choosing to praise God even though the world would tell me to gripe and complain. I have certainly done enough of that this year. I am choosing joy and choosing to live my life in a way that glorifies God, regardless of whatever may come my way.
