Daily Bible Reading:

Psalm 126:3

The LORD has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy.


There will always be those among us, who are inclined to ignore the joys of life and focus on the negative. When you speak with them, they are quick to point out the worst. If we are not able to see God in all things, we will never experience true joy. There are many things in this life that we don't understand, we have endured hardships and difficult situations, and most likely there will be more. While we can't deny the bad times, we cannot ignore the fact that God delivers us from every situation, He never bails out when things get rough, He is continually guiding, and instructing, and loving us each step of the way. If we reflect for a moment, we will be reminded of the many blessings He has surrounded us with. He has picked us up, and set our feet on a solid ground. We can be secure in Him. He has and is, continually doing great things in our lives. When trouble comes, our praise should become more persistent. As long as God is by our side, we can be joyful, in all things.

Prayer

You Lord are all sufficient. You have done great things and brought us through many difficult situations. We know that regardless of what today holds, we can trust in You. You are able to do above and beyond what we expect. We praise You and thank You for the great things You have done, and are about to do in our lives, in Jesus name, Amen.
