Just a quick thought this evening.
Over the past several posts I’ve discussed some of the issues I’ve been struggling with recently. Nothing serious, but just everyday occurrences that can consume our thoughts and steal our energy (literal energy, none of that voodoo jazz).
Personally, I often get wrapped up in the things that aren’t always going my way and I forget to thank God for what He has done for me.
I’m not saying we shouldn’t care about these other things. And God wants us to come to Him with the troubles of our heart (or so I believe).
But I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed with guilt and shame from causing such a fuss over things I should be leaving at His feet.
I needed a nudge in the right direction tonight; a reminder to count my blessings and praise the Lord for what He has done. No matter the circumstance of our life, the greatest gift has already been given: our salvation through the redeeming work of Christ, by the grace of God
God is holy and righteous. We may not understand His will, but we can rest assured He loves us and desires the best for us Romans 8:28. But let us also not forget we are in no position to question circumstance. It is as Job said, “the Lord gives, and the Lord takes away”. Job 1:21
If in nothing else, find comfort in your salvation this day. Rest easy tonight, friends.
Sincerely,
A wretched saint
