It's easy to be thankful when everything is going right; When everyone is doing well and everyone is happy.
The last few weeks, God has been showing me that I need to be thankful even when life isn't going how I want it to. To be thankful, when we're sick, stressed and overwhelmed with to do's that didn't get done.
I've always been quick to feel blessed when all is right, everyone is happy, we're in the groove and life is "good," but complain and whine about life when things don't seem to be right.
The last few weeks, our household has had some rough times. It has seemed as though the situations we were going through weren't coming to an end. It was thing after thing after thing… do you know what I'm talking about?
You ever feel like you can't catch a break?
Then, it hit me. In the midst of it all, I stopped and gave thanks. I praised God, even in the midst of turmoil. I decided that I wasn't going to let the enemy defeat me and make me feel like life sucked, in the moment.
He wants us to be thankful in any and every situation life hands us. Why?
Because He is Lord over all of our circumstances and sees us through, when we feel like the world around us has fallen apart.
No matter what we're going through, let's not forget to see the good and to give thanks.
Don't let the enemy steal your joy and steal your thanks! He wants you walking around thinking that your situation has defeated you. Don't let him have the pleasure!
