Good morning, Jesus.
Lord, everyone, whether a Christ-follower or an unbeliever, goes through seasons of peace with contentment, and without fail, chapters of darkness and despair. Psalm 23:6 tells us that all who call on You are never alone in the darkness. What is the Christ-follower’s secret for peace and joy in troubling times? Simple. A thankful heart. We meditate on our blessings. The list is endless. Your goodness and kindness, mercy, grace and forgiveness undeserved but freely given. Eternal life and the glories of Heaven that await the redeemed. Negative attitudes fail to gain a foothold in our spirit. Self-pity is squashed. Despair gives way to gratitude. Isaiah 23:6 is true: “You will keep me in perfect peace when my mind is fixed on You.”
May we be faithful to pray for all those effected by the wildfires out west and the floods in the south. Be their protection and provision. Be the great God they need and use these catastrophes to bring people to repentance and a relationship with You.
Forgive our sins, heal our nation. Only by allowing You to change our hearts can our country enjoy peace.
Meditating on Your goodness, Lord Jesus. Amen.
THANKFUL
