I saw this quote on a friends Facebook that is really good and has stuck with me. Its said: “What if you woke up today with only the things that you thanked God for yesterday?” Wow! That really made me stop and think. So many times I let my mind dwell on the things that has me worried, or I get down about things not happening, or circumstances, or other people’s circumstances and problems. It’s so easy to do that. But if you think about it, there are so many things to be thankful for and to be praising God for.
I have had lots of reasons lately to be praising God. Like spending time with my family, very good friends from high school coming back into my life, my book signing, (another booked, and one more in the works! yay!) awesome thing going on at church. I can go on and on.
Psalm 47: 1-2 says, “Come, everyone! Clap your hands! Shout to God with joyful praise! For the Lord Most High is awesome. He is the great King of all the earth.”
What is God doing in your life? What things do you have to be praising Him for? What are you thankful for? What if you woke up with only the things that you thanked Him for today? I know that if I made a list for everyone and everything that I’m thankful for, that list would outweigh every problem and circumstances that I’m going through. We have a reason to praise Him. Our God is awesome!
