Scripture of the Day: Psalm 13:6
I will sing the Lord’s praise, for he has been good to me.
This past weekend, I had a little mother's day miracle of my own! You could say it was chance, but I think it was the Lord's favor :)! My husband bought me a cross necklace for my first mother's day. I have lost it twice. The first time I found it under our bed when we moved the bed but the second time, I thought it was gone for good. Since last December I have been looking for this thing and was sure the vacuum got it long ago!
But on Saturday, I decided to check the camera bag to make sure the charger was there and behold, the necklace was sitting on top of the cord! Note, we use the charger frequently, and I can guarantee you it was not there last weekend! I was so ecstatic, I almost started to cry. It had been gone so long, and it seemed to me a gift from God that it was returned so my response was a "thank you Jesus!" and a dance that got a strange look from my 3 year old! It was like receiving the necklace as a new present on a different mother's day!
My mother's day was fantastic and the day could have ended 10 minutes after I woke up and I would have been satisfied. My son came into our bedroom and cuddled in bed with me...we giggled and laughed and I got lots of hugs. That is all the gift I needed that day. My heart was satisfied.
When I find lost things, I praise God because I know that I could not have found the lost item without him. When things are returned to you, they are a gift and you almost have more appreciation than before the losing of them.
When I have precious moments or days with my child, I praise God because I know those times are a gift. I know God has been good to me because I have a miracle child I get to see every morning and tuck in every night.
There should be times in every day that you can sing the Lord's praise. In every day there is some good. Whether it be the simple fact the the sun came up, or you had food in the pantry, or you heard a child laugh, or your car started, or you arrived somewhere on time (perhaps even early), or you spent some time in the Word or talking to a good friend (even when the subject isn't a happy one). Or, or, or. In every day, find reason to praise God because really, he has been good to you! I think he delights when we remember to thank him for that!
Closing Prayer:
Heavenly Father God, thank you for being so good to me! Help me remember that always. Let it not take the finding of an item thought lost or the joy that is my son to remind me to praise you! Help it be a daily occurrence - "just because!" Just because you are wonderful and deserve it! We are your children and you are good to us - always. Even when we have to find the good in the bad, you deserve praise. Keep our hearts leaning toward you. I ask this in Jesus' name. Amen.
I will sing the Lord’s praise, for he has been good to me.
