TAKE SOME TIME AND LISTEN TO...
As this new year begins, and I know you’re probably doing
what I’ve been doing this past week…looking back; thinking about the things
that you could have, should have, or wished you would have done. We
can’t go back and change it no matter how much we want to. But while
you’re pondering the things that didn’t happen, have you stop to celebrate all
the things that did happen? Why is it we reflect upon our failures first?
Why do we want to think about the things that cause us pain more than we think
about the things that bring us joy?
There will be times things won't happen when we thought it should or the
way we wanted, and we think the Lord has failed us. Yes, there are times
we think the Lord, let us down. Yet, here we are, we are still standing;
that means He supplied everything that we needed. So, why aren't we reflecting
on those memories? If you are going to look back, then you must also
remember how the Lord has kept you. If you are going to look back, look back on
the blessings, not the curses.
Remember the things that are true; God wants you to
prosper and be in good health. Remember the things that are honest; His
promises, He will never forsake you. Remember the things that are just; His
righteousness. Remember the things that are pure; how the blood of Jesus that
washed away your sins. Remember the things are lovely; His goodness and
mercy. Remember the things that are of a good report; His word can’t return to
Him void. Remember to think on these things and never forget, it’s not over until
the Lord says it’s over.
It’s a new year, and we are not going to bring what happened yesterday into the
new year. So, let's talk about remembering your blessings…
TAKE SOME TIME AND LISTEN TO...
It will remind you to
count your blessings and to be thankful for them.
