As I was doing my trust word study in the Bible I saw that trust and thankfulness would sometimes go together in certain psalms. This is a hard blog for me to write this week because I am truthfully having a hard time being thankful. I have had some health challenges this month, as well as dissappointing news about Zachary and his progress. I can so concentrate on the "bad" things and forget the thousands of things I should truly be thankful for; I always have food to feed my family, I have a wonderful husband and kids, I have a place to live. This should bring me to be more then thankful to God!
I went to Psalm 77 and saw the the writer was wondering where God was, where was the help that he needed? And then a few verses into it he says, "I will remember the deeds of the Lord; yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago." (verse 11) He continues going on remembering the miracles he has seen God do, the things that God had provided for him in the past. This made the man again trust that God will deliver him once again, just like He had in the past.
So when I get overwhelmed with the challenges that Zachary brings, and the hopelessness I feel in not knowing how to help him. I need to remember that God knows, and that He has shown His mighty work previously in our lives. Today my children Ethan and Maddie who were severly speeched delayed at the age of 4 are 9 and 11 and are A/B students and need no speech services. He has worked mightely! I have to remember that He was faithful then so He will be faithful now. So I can trust Him!
Well my friends, may God bless you today. Keep looking up!
