The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad. Psalm 126:3
Some are prone to look upon the dark side of everything. They focus on the troubles they’ve gone through instead of looking upon the great things God has done for them. They will describe their deep afflictions, and sad adversities without reflecting upon God’s great blessings in their lives, such as His daily grace and mercy.
Life doesn’t have to be this way. You can glorify God by praising His greatness and thanking Him for the great things He has done in your life.
It’s true that you endure adversity, but it’s also true that God has delivered you out of many difficulties. It’s true that you deal with temptation and sin, but it’s also true that you have a sufficient Saviour who died for your sin and provides power to overcome temptation. Perspective is important. A positive outlook will encourage your heart as you deal with troubles, trials, and temptations.
Always remember that the LORD is great. Today, be glad for the great things God has done for you!
