Sometimes it is so very easy to be so very negative as we look at the world around us. There are a lot of bad things going on in our world these days. We are living in perilous times. Despite all the bad things that are going on we can rejoice in the fact that God is good and He loves us so very much.
We can rejoice and be thankful for all that the Lord blesses us with. He provides for us in many ways. He provides us to have a roof over our heads. He provides food and clean water to many of us. Even if we live in a place that doesn't have those things we can be thankful that the Lord is with us and will take care of us.
There are many good things that God is doing for us that we don't even see. We believers in Jesus Christ have a great living hope in Him. Jesus paid the price for our sin by dying on the Cross. He took the punishment that we deserve. When we place our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ we are saved and have a place in Heaven. Jesus said that He would prepare a place for we believers and one day He would come and take us to be with Him forever.
We should be concerned by the way things are going in this world, but we must look for the good that the Lord bestows upon us each and everyday. God is still good and God works all things to the good to those who love Him and are called according to His purposes.
One good thing that the Lord have given us is the Holy Bible. We can read the Bible and receive encouragement and be reminded of the hope we have in Jesus Christ. Another wonderful blessing that we have is the Holy Spirit who indwells everyone who have placed their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Let's keep looking for the good things that the Lord puts in our way and rejoice in who He is. God is still God and our hope is in Him. When the world gets you down turn your eyes upon the Lord Jesus and praise Him for His goodness.
Lord,
We thank You that You are good and You are always good.
We praise Your Name.
Help us to rejoice in Your goodness.
Help us to be thankful and grateful for all the blessings You pour out in our lives.
May our hearts be bursting with praise for all that You have done for us.
In Jesus Name we pray,
Amen.
