"Let all that I am praise the Lord; may I never forget the good things he does for me." Psalm 103:2 NLT
"Count your blessings, name them one by one.
Count your blessings, see what God has done.
Count your blessings, name them one by one.
And it will surprise you what the Lord has done."
When the burdens and struggles of life pile up in front of us and block our vision, it's easy to lose sight of the lessons of the past. When we add up the blessings God has given us and remember the times he has shown himself faithful, suddenly we have a new vista in front of us.
The challenges we face sometimes seem insurmountable. But we do not face them alone. When we put our faith in Jesus Christ, he sends his Spirit to live inside us. Whatever we face, he faces with us. Sometimes he is called The Counselor, and other times The Comfortor.
These times of uncertainty test our faith and have the potential to build our character. If only our emotions didn't tangle us up and short-circuit our memories. When we feel overwhelmed by the mountain of troubles staring us in the face, we need to drop to our knees in prayer. And when we see God's work in our lives, we need to make record of it and retrieve it like a weapon to face the next onslaught of trials.
Is there something in your life that looms like Mt. Everest in your path? Praise the Lord for his past faithfulness, and ask him for the strength and wisdom to navigate the rocky terrain.
