Psalm 106:1 NKJV
“Praise the Lord! Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.”
It’s easy to praise the Lord and thank Him when things are going well in our lives. But the minute we start facing challenges, we question the presence of God and wonder if He’s really working in our lives. Many people think that they go through trials because the Lord has forgotten them. That couldn’t be farther from the truth.
The Lord is good, and His steadfast love endures forever. He does not forget His children (Isaiah 49:15) or willfully put to shame those who trust in Him (Romans 10:11). The next time you go through a challenging situation, don’t let doubt and fear steal your joy. Remind yourself that God is good, and He does good for His children (Romans 8:28).
If you’re feeling low, take a few minutes to list out everything you’re grateful to God for. Counting your blessings will help you remember all that God has done for you in the past. It will restore your hope in the Lord and give you the strength to keep going.
Prayer: Father, I praise You because You are good and Your love for me never ends. Help me rest in that truth today and every day. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
