I was thinking about how sometimes we get so preoccupied, we forget to praise God despite the circumstances. You know how when things are going very well, and bricks are falling into place, and the sun is shining—we can’t help but give God glory for what He’s done in our lives? Then sometimes when things are on the flip side, we pray and we pray and we pray, but we can’t see as clearly how things were wonderful at another time, how we were delivered the last time, or how we felt when we knew God was in our corner and the world wasn’t so big and bad. I didn’t say we ignore it or forget; I said we can’t see it as clearly as the good times. Well, I’m guilty too, so I figured I’d remind everyone in my reach including myself to take a good snapshot of that higher-than-high, wonderful, over-the-top feeling and keep it in our pocket to peek at when the skies are gray and the worst is all you can see around you. Then make it your business to describe that feeling and the gifts received when you were on top, giving God the glory at that time--when you really need to remember. Tell somebody then how good He is to you, and you’ll probably avoid that cloudy area of ungratefulness we can so easily slip into. Plus you’ll feel that high all over again. Love it.
