Let us come to him with thanksgiving.
Let us sing psalms of praise to him.
Let us sing psalms of praise to him.
Psalm 95:2
What is our first reaction when things go wrong or when things just don't go our way? We get irritated, frustrated, aggravated, grouchy, and grumpy. We begin evaluating where and why things went wrong. Our blood pressure increases. Our focus becomes fixed on the issue, and God ceases to be part of the equation as far as we are concerned. Yes, I am guilty of this too.
One of my Chaplaincy mentors who passed away recently, Gene Harper, told me once to focus on the good God gives and let God handle the rest. This is a reminder I need to keep in the forefront of my thoughts, yet tend to forget with alarming regularity. When I focus on praising God for the good He has provided, the rest dims and eventually fades into irrelevance.
Take time to remember the good that God has provided and thank Him for it.
