It’s exhausting to see the great in life when what we see in entrance of us doesn’t look or feel-good proper now. It’s exhausting to see any kind of goodness of God when ache, loss and heartache is all we see in our circumstances. However what if a part of believing God for the great issues is in search of the great issues in our life? You could have heard it requested earlier than, however what when you awoke tomorrow with the belongings you thanked God for as we speak?

It’s a piercing query. In search of the great issues in your life, even throughout not-so-good circumstances, is much better than wanting on the not-so-good. We are inclined to focus our consideration on the not so good circumstances somewhat than specializing in the great throughout the present circumstances. Such because the meals it’s important to eat as we speak, the physique it’s important to transfer as we speak, the thoughts it’s important to use as we speak, the eyes it’s important to see as we speak, the family and friends it’s important to love as we speak, and the ‘new mercies each morning’ that we obtain daily. (Lamentations 3:22-23). We’ve so many blessings round us, and we are going to see them if we search for them.

I’m sorry for no matter exhausting circumstance you’re dealing with proper now, possibly from a job loss, lack of a pal or beloved one attributable to loss of life or a betrayal, well being pains and diagnoses, monetary hardship, or loneliness. No matter it’s that you’re dealing with in your life that doesn’t look or really feel good, bear in mind to cling to as we speak’s verse, It talks about how in the midst of our not-so-good circumstances, we will nonetheless imagine God for the great issues as a result of He has gone earlier than us and follows behind us in our circumstance. He already is aware of the ending to the story. He is aware of what you’re going by and is with you.

On prime of all His nearness, as we speak’s scripture additionally says that His very personal hand of blessings are being positioned upon us. How reassuring is that? We are able to start to imagine God once more for the great issues to return as a result of we have already got good issues as we speak that we will look to. We should cease wanting down or straight at our circumstances and begin wanting up and above at our God of goodness and all the great issues inside our circumstances.

Let’s Pray:

Pricey Lord,

You’re a good, good Father. We reward you for the promise of Your presence in our each day life and your moment-to-moment nearness. Forgive us for complaining or remaining in a spot of disbelief as we have now been too targeted on our circumstances at instances somewhat than on the goodness of you. Thanks in your Phrase and for as we speak’s reminder that you’re utterly with us in the midst of our circumstances as you have got gone earlier than and behind us. You already know the start from the tip of the circumstance we’re dealing with. Forgive us for not placing our deal with the great issues that you’ve got positioned in our life as we’re surrounded by your hand of blessings. Remind us every day to deal with the great issues and all of the blessings that come from you. We’re not simply blessed with the great issues each day, however we’re lavishly cared for as there isn’t a second that you’re not by our facet as we’re navigating by our exhausting circumstance. Lord, what we’re going by doesn’t really feel good, however please remind me every day we get up that you’re good as we imagine you for all the great issues which might be in our current life now, and for all the great issues which might be to return.
