Give Thanks in All Circumstances

It’s so easy to give thanks to the Lord when we’re happy and successful. When we got promotion, when we passed the exams with flying colors, when we got what we want. But even in those happy times, sadly: God has sometimes been forgotten. We’re too overwhelmed by those wonderful feelings and forgot to thank the One who gave us all of that.

If it’s the other way around: what if things are pretty bad. They’re not going our ways, we fail in business, or we had some financial difficulties, etc. Are we still able to see His Goodness with a grateful heart? Can we still give thanks to the Lord? Let’s start to give thanks to Him in all circumstances. (-fon-)

Never Unheard

The cry of the human soul is never unheard. It is never that God does not hear the cry, but that man fails to hear the response. (God Calling Oct 19^th).

TOTD, November 10 – Straining Toward What is Ahead

Straining Toward What is Ahead

The past was over. The failure-the sadness-the anger: it was there but it’s over. Sometimes people tend to think too much of it, lock it inside of them heart, trapped without knowing how to move on. In God, we believe that there’s nothing that’s too hard to do. Bring all the bad things to God and believe that He will heal us, as long as we cooperate with Him and want to let it go.

Then, it’s our duty to look forward. Living our present life joyfully and straining toward what is ahead. Believe that God will lead us to win the prize of life in Him. (-fon-)

Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

Judging Measurement
