Ain’t God Good
Ain’t God good to give us so many blessings
Undeserving, that’s what we are
We ought to thank Him, love and praise Him
A little more today … a whole lot more tomorrow
Earlier today, I had to pause and consciously acknowledge God, thanking Him for His blessings. God has been so good to me yet there are still days I feel tired and overwhelmed. I have a mountainous to-do list but, without His strength, I cannot do it. I am humanly ready for a break.
In those moments, I hear His gentle voice giving me the direction I need and telling me He loves me. I may not feel like I have time for this but, without it, I cannot go on. I needed to experience peace and a reassurance that He is here. He knows the way I should go, and He will grant me the wisdom I need and the strength to do what is absolutely necessary. I just need to take time to listen.
I’m so grateful for this reminder. I have time with God every morning but I think sometimes it becomes routine with being rushed and not taking time to fully enter His presence … at least to the point that I can feel Him. There are days that my schedule is extremely hectic and I have to pray on the run. I know He understands that. But I also know that this should not be the norm. And I need not neglect to take time in the middle of the day if that is what it takes. He really is so good to me. I have the most blessed life I can imagine: a couple jobs that I love, a family who loves me, nieces and nephews who wouldn’t know what to do without me … yes, God has been very good to me.
God, forgive me for temporarily losing sight of this. Thank You for Your mercy and patience. Continue to make me a daughter You can be proud of. I love You, Father.
I’m certain He’s proud of you.
Thank you, Maxine. That is my prayer.
