“Enter into gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise; be thankful unto him and bless his name” (Psalm 100:4).
It may seem odd to end this month’s study with this verse, but, in spite of our infirmities or circumstances, God is faithful. Miss Liberty started praising God immediately after her healing. I envision that she had been faithful to worship on the Sabbath for 18 years in spite of her infirmity. Her faith was honored and she was very grateful.
Praise and worship Him today for His goodness and mercy. Paul addresses this very well in the book of Philippians. If you have ever done a study on the life of Paul, you may wonder how he could pen these words found in Philippians 4:11: “Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned , whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.”
This chorus to a gospel song, “I’m A Winner Either Way,” summarizes this principle.
I’m a winner either way
If I go or if I stay
I will still have my Jesus
Each passing day
I’ll have my healing here below
Or life forever if I go
O, praise the Lord
I’m a winner either way.
