Praise God from Whom all blessings flow. Even in the midst of the tragedies in which we live, we have to remember one thing: God is on His Throne and He is in control. He Reigns!
When things seem to spin out of control and we don’t know what to do next, we do know where to turn. Christ promises He will never leave us or forsake us. The craziness of the world will not prevail.
We have a Mighty God who can part the Red Seas in our life. He is ever with us and wants the very best for us. He wants us to have the abundant life. We should be filled with joy and praise with every breath. How great is our God!
We can know that no matter what is going on God is there with us. He never says he will take us out of the storm but He will walk with us through it to a brighter day.
We have so much to be thankful for. We have a Father in heaven who loves us so much He sent His Son to die for us. He wants to spend eternity with us. Each of us is precious in His sight.
We know that our joy lies in the Lord. It has nothing to do with our circumstances. Paul and Silas sang hymns of praise while in chains in a dank, filthy prison. Paul knew that nothing matters except our life in Christ and, in living for Him, we have joy and peace.
Take time today to meditate on the all the blessings God has given you. Take time to thank Him and sing His praises ‘cause I bet wherever you are is better than where Paul was when he could do nothing but praise God!
