Learn or Pay attention Beneath:
It’s onerous to see the nice in life when what we see in entrance of us doesn’t look or feel-good proper now. It’s onerous to see any form of goodness of God when ache, loss and heartache is all we see in our circumstances. However what if a part of believing God for the nice issues is on the lookout for the nice issues in our life? You’ll have heard it requested earlier than, however what when you wakened tomorrow with the belongings you thanked God for in the present day?
It’s a piercing query. On the lookout for the nice issues in your life, even throughout not-so-good circumstances, is much better than trying on the not-so-good. We are likely to focus our consideration on the not so good circumstances somewhat than specializing in the nice throughout the present circumstances. Such because the meals you must eat in the present day, the physique you must transfer in the present day, the thoughts you must use in the present day, the eyes you must see in the present day, the family and friends you must love in the present day, and the ‘new mercies each morning’ that we obtain each day. (Lamentations 3:22-23). Now we have so many blessings round us, and we’ll see them if we search for them.
I’m sorry for no matter onerous circumstance you’re going through proper now, possibly from a job loss, lack of a pal or cherished one attributable to loss of life or a betrayal, well being pains and diagnoses, monetary hardship, or loneliness. No matter it’s that you’re going through in your life that doesn’t look or really feel good, bear in mind to cling to in the present day’s verse, It talks about how in the course of our not-so-good circumstances, we are able to nonetheless imagine God for the nice issues as a result of He has gone earlier than us and follows behind us in our circumstance. He already is aware of the ending to the story. He is aware of what you’re going by and is with you.
On high of all His nearness, in the present day’s scripture additionally says that His very personal hand of blessings are being positioned upon us. How reassuring is that? We are able to start to imagine God once more for the nice issues to return as a result of we have already got good issues in the present day that we are able to look to. We should cease trying down or straight at our circumstances and begin trying up and above at our God of goodness and all the nice issues inside our circumstances.
Let’s Pray:
Pricey Lord,
You’re a good, good Father. We reward you for the promise of Your presence in our day by day life and your moment-to-moment nearness. Forgive us for complaining or remaining in a spot of disbelief as we’ve been too targeted on our circumstances at occasions somewhat than on the goodness of you. Thanks to your Phrase and for in the present day’s reminder that you’re utterly with us in the course of our circumstances as you will have gone earlier than and behind us. You already know the start from the top of the circumstance we’re going through. Forgive us for not placing our give attention to the nice issues that you’ve positioned in our life as we’re surrounded by your hand of blessings. Remind us every day to give attention to the nice issues and all of the blessings that come from you. We’re not simply blessed with the nice issues daily, however we’re lavishly cared for as there isn’t a second that you’re not by our facet as we’re navigating by our onerous circumstance. Lord, what we’re going by doesn’t really feel good, however please remind me every day we get up that you’re good as we imagine you for all the nice issues which might be in our current life now, and for all the nice issues which might be to return. We love you, and we’re endlessly grateful for the truth that we’re abundantly cared for and cherished by you.
