As you take stock of the year, its not time to muse over the failures and disappointments of the days gone by, but a time to count your blessings and praise the Lord with joyfulness. Rejoice over what the LORD has done for you this year, and celebrate his goodness and wonderful works in your life. Give him the sacrifice of true worship. Perhaps in the course of the year you experienced certain difficulties and challenges that made you almost despair of life. Maybe you really don't see the need to be exuberant with praise to the Lord due to the hardship you experienced in the outgoing year. My counsel to you is praise Him anyhow! read, Habakuk 3:17-19.
