Thank God for thankful people. They're the ones who no matter what's been happening in their lives they find something to praise God for, instead of telling you all the bad stuff they're going through. I know I've been guilty of it and it has to stop, because there's always a bright side if we'll look for it. 😊
So today I'm on a bit of a mission to try to find something uplifting to tell people. It's like the man who was in excruciating pain in his leg so he kept praying and asking the Lord to heal it. The Lord asked him if he'd ever said thank you for all the other parts of his body that were pain free. He sheepishly acknowledged that he hadn't because he was so focused on what was wrong. From then on whenever he had the pain he'd thank the Lord for the rest of his body that was well and he found the pain began to diminish.
Scripture tells us praise and thanksgiving defeat the enemy because there's nothing he can do about it and he hates to hear us praising God so he clears off. They are two of our powerful weapons against the enemy.
So maybe you'd like to join me and no matter what troubles us, let's praise our wonderful God for all His immense goodness to us, for the bits of our bodies that are working well, that are pain free, for the strength we have got. Let's be thankful for His promise that His healing is coursing through our veins even when we can't see it, that His joy is deep down on the inside of us if we'll just release it by thanking Him for it.
Let's be one of the thankful bunch today and make people smile.😊
