Remembering the Good Things

“In that day you will say: "Give thanks to the LORD, call on his name; make known among the nations what he has done, and proclaim that his name is exalted.”- Isaiah 12:4

This weekend has been filled with trials that I wasn’t necessarily prepared for. And the thing that bums me out the most is that I didn’t once go to my Father and tell him about it. I just got upset, wined and complained, and tried to move on. Only now, when I look at that verse do I realize that I don’t need to be having my little “moments” when there is so much to be thankful for. The Lord is so amazingly good and I often forget how much he has done for me to be able to have the relationship, the friendship with Him. He is a God that listens, that cares, that wants to lend his healing hand. I feel foolish for not coming to Him sooner, but according to Paul there is no condemnation in Jesus Christ.

So my outlook on today, no matter what life throws at me, is that I am thankful for the blessings and all the things the Lord has given me. I will declare the things the Lord has done in my life and be thankful for every one of them.
