Many times we miss GOD and do not recognize our blessings
because they do not happen the way that we expect them to happen. Sometimes we
become upset, frustrated or disappointed; and this clouds our ability to be grateful
and appreciate the blessings of GOD. We must come to the point in our walk with
the Lord that we realize that GOD is the one who sees the total picture. We
only see a small part.
We must stop seeing our delays as denials.
We must stop
feeling as if we are alone and forsaken.
GOD is a loving Father who does not neglect His children.
GOD's ways are not
our ways and GOD's thoughts are not our thoughts.
We often try to figure out
solutions to our situations, according to what we see. Nevertheless, when we
trust GOD, He may cause things to go in a different direction; in order to avoid
a disaster that we cannot see. We must be willing to trust GOD no matter what
and stop trying to take things into our own hands.
We should always live a life of praise and thanksgiving to GOD.
We should always live a life of praise and thanksgiving to GOD.
GOD no longer
desires lip praises; He wants heart praises. David said, let everyone that has
breath praise the Lord. Yes, you are hurting, but praise GOD anyway. No, you do
not see the money for the rent or the mortgage, but praise GOD anyway. So what,
you got a very negative report from the doctor, but praise GOD anyway. I know
the boss is being very unfair, and it seems like the person with poor
performance is getting a promotion, but praise GOD anyway.
We have to come to a point, where we understand and believe that what GOD has for us, no man can take from us; and when GOD opens a door for us, no man can shut it. You might be saying to yourself - that is easy for you to say because you are not in it. We all have our seasons, and the Bible tells us that what each of us go through is common to man. There is nothing unique about our trials. Your fire may not be my fire, but fire is fire; and all fire burns. We must not forget that the grace of GOD will always be sufficient.
Why should we thank GOD when it seems like things are just getting worse? We should thank GOD for holding back the fire and making a way of escape. We should thank GOD for being our deliverer. We should thank Him for being our refuge and our strength; our very present help in this time of trouble. Regardless of what the situation looks like; we should thank GOD, and know that He is GOD and He is still in control. He knows about the situation, He hears your cries, He sees your pain.

He is a mighty GOD who has promised not to give you more than you are able to
bear.
He is always with you, even when it seems like you are all alone.
Today, I encourage you, to rise up and bless the Lord.
Today, I encourage you, to rise up and bless the Lord.
Give GOD thanks and give
Him praise.
GOD has been good to you.
If it had not been for the Lord, who was
on your side, where would you be?
It is because of the mercies of GOD that you
are not consumed.
GOD is a great GOD.
He loves you and He cares about you.
Give
GOD thanks and praise today.
