Enter his gates with thanksgiving in our hearts and give him praise Today in our life there is so much that happens. So much drama, so much sickness,so much pain, so much of alot of things. It is going to be differnt for people and there are going to be people that deal with the same thing. As I sit here and think today I think of how offten do we sit there and focus on all the bad things that go on in our life and all the trials we deal with and we get angry and frustrated with it all and get down about it. As I today am dealing with a back that is not liking me and is in so much pain. What do i do to help it I ask my self. and then I try to do other things to get my mind off it and that works for a while then the pain comes back and then I am right back at foucing on that . We need to think in those times all the great things that have happended in our lives not just our lives but other people that we know that have had great thinks that the Lord has done. And give Jesus the glory and the praised becasue he has done it not us. I think of some people in my life that I have seen been healed from the Lord and set free and it was nothing they did but the Lord healed them and set them free. So many times we think trials are ungly and I have thought that to but today as I am thinking. I am thankful for the trials that I have gone through from abuse to many sugerys and so much more that I have gone through and should not even be alive. But yet I am and it is nothing I got my self through and over came but only from asking the Lord in my life and allowing him to take over in these areas and set me free. And to be honest I would not be here today if it was not for him. I belive that I went through those trails today to bring me to him and also once I over came them that I could be there for others that go through things as well. I say all this to say lets not just always stay focuced on all the bad things and the trials that you are going through but stop a moment and say Jesus I thank you for everything you have done and what you are going to do and you are a mighty God not just in my own life but all that surrond me and all that are around.. I challege you today to stop and make a list of all the things that he has helped you with, freed you from, healed you from and what ever else you can think of and say Lord I am thankful becasue you did this and not me and the things I will go through in my life from this point on I can trust you and you will not aloow us to go through anything alone if we choose to call on your name and you will bring us over that mountion as well and it might not always be in our time but in your perfect time. Jesus we love you and thank you for all you have done in our lives....... |
