Come on, everyone! Let’s sing for joy to the Lord! Let’s shout our loudest praises to our God who saved us! Everyone come meet His face with a thankful heart. Don’t hold back your praises; make Him great by your shouts of joy! For the Lord is the greatest of all! Psalms 95:1-3 TPT
Isn't He good!?! YES He is good, and worthy to be praised!
I’m sure there are many times we can look back and thank God for being the strength when we felt we had run out.
That is His grace.
I often find that when I am struggling to find something to be grateful for, all it takes is to step outside and take a look around.
All that He has created proclaims how amazing He is! The wind howls, the birds sing. Its actually pretty bewildering. When you reflect on it you can literally feel joyful gratitude thump around in your chest.
The flowers grow, the rain pours down from clouds that are ever changing.
All by Gods grace.
Make some time for contemplating of all the ways He has provided for you, all the times He has wiped the tears off your cheeks with His grace, His loving mercy, say thank You to Him.
And while we are thinking on this, thank God for all His provisions. Make a list..... The list will be different for each of us BUT I'm certain for each of us the list is long.
Mulling over such a list will naturally move our thoughts to the joy the Lord offers and provides to us, creating deeply imbedded gratitude.
