This verse has been playing over and over in my head for the last few weeks. It's a great verse. It reminds me that the Lord is to be blessed no matter what is actually going on around me, in my life, or what I feel or see. This is a lesson I seem to need reminding of time and time again. And I'm okay with that. I want praise and honor of the Lord to become the "go to" attitude in my life, so ingrained in my being, that my first reaction is always to bless and praise God whatever the circumstance or happening.
The Lord also has included a song running around my brain as well...and it runs along the same theme as the verse.
1 Thessalonians 5:18 Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.
Most times, when things get frustrating or don't go my way, people won't cooperate with my idea of how life should work, traffic lights seem to all be red, the clock moves faster than I would like.....my first reaction has always been to complain, gripe and many times to blame God. But now, this verse, or more accurately, this part Job 1;21 is coming into my head when life doesn't behave the way I desire. And I am loving it !! I love that the Holy Spirit is creating a new habit in me. It's has been my prayer for so long to break free from a complaining spirit...and I still have a ways to go...but I know, know, know that I am on the path to recovery from this addiction!! Yaaay. Thank You Lord.
Lord, thank You for this ongoing God visit. This wonderful work in progress. I pray that You will encourage people, through this entry that we are all works in progress, masterpieces being painted by You...the process is sometimes long and arduous, but You are at work. Help us to never give up, because You never give up.
