The God on the Mountain is Still God in the Valley

I was driving to work this morning listening to a CD of praise music and I heard this one by Tree63 and it just touched me all over again. Each time I hear it I am reminded that we need to praise God when it's good and when it's bad. Everything in our lives should be glorifying to God and we have to make a conscious choice to praise Him through our circumstances. Do I do that enough? No...not by a long shot. Am I convicted of it? Yes, and so I keep striving to praise Him every moment of every day.

Blessed be your name
In the land that is plentiful
Where the streams of abundance flow
Blessed be your name

Blessed be your name
When I'm found in the desert place
Though I walk through the wilderness
Blessed be your name

Every blessing you pour out,
I turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, Lord
Still I will say...

Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your glorious name

Blessed be your name
When the sun's shining down on me
When the world's all as it should be
Blessed be your name

Blessed be your name

On the road marked with suffering
Though there's pain in the offering
Blessed be your name

Every blessing you pour out,
I turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, Lord
Still I will say...

Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your glorious name

You give and take away
You give and take away
My heart will choose to say Lord,
Blessed be your name
