Giving God The Glory
The thought had crossed my mind just before bed; "You have not done your journaling, quiet time and Bible study today". However, I felt that I was tired, it was late and I could wait until this morning. God disagreed, I believe, because He literally kept me up most of the night. I probably would have been better off to get up and do those things and went back to bed. But I did not; so I suffered. Maybe you agree with me. Maybe you do not. But I believe God can do this. He can do anything He wants. Why would He not want to wake me up, encourage me, remind me that it was He that gave me those blessings yesterday.
God blesses us everyday using even the smallest of things. The warm water coming from our showers in the morning, the glow of the moonlight on our children's faces as we tuck them in at night, the feeling that you get when you see someone you love coming up the driveway from work. All these things are blessings that God chooses to allow us to have, rather than taking away. He could have easily taken those things away He gave me yesterday. Instead of allowing them to remain a part of my life, however, He did not.
You can bet that this morning one of my first tasks was to praise Him, thank Him and give Him the glory for what He has done in my life, both yesterday, today and everyday. Moreover, I know He will continue because He is faithful.
Are you giving God the glory for His blessings in your life? I am looking forward to those blessings with eagerness, because I have seen God shower them into my life so many times before. How about you, are you prepared for the rain?
