He sends forth His word and heals them and rescues them from the pit and destruction. Oh, that men would praise [and confess to] the Lord for His goodness and loving-kindness and His wonderful works to the children of men! And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving and rehearse His deeds with shouts of joy and singing! ”
Psalm 107:20-22
Many people get blessed by the LORD but then act as though it is by their own power they have gained victory. I have faced storms of life but as the scriptures say, ” In all these things we are more than conquerors THROUGH HIM THAT LOVED US. Rom 8:37 Through the word of God I have whipped the devil every time. God has caused me to rejoice over my enemies, I have reigned over sickness, poverty, and forces of darkness. The bible says , “No weapon fashioned against you shall prosper*” This has been true in my life. The LORD took me from a place of shame and defeat and clothed me with honor and grace . Like David said, ” I am as a wonder to many. What am I doing? Am I bragging, not at all, I am rehearsing God’s deeds.
Learn to say , ” Father I am grateful, I had one pair of shoes but now I have three, I used to pray for a job but now I stand amongst the employed; Thank you Father, some are praying for the kind of family that I have but you gave me without asking, Thank you because you made me beautiful, Oh God I love what you made. Thank you for my parents…. Instead of complaining to God and always begging God in prayer, try praying this way. Don’t be ashamed to tell people of how Jesus is your source of all that is good. Tell your girlfriend or boyfriend of the miracles of Jesus in your life. Confess to God, to one another and to the world, God’s goodness. Let all men know that God is good. Yes, I was born to make the world know, believe, and have faith in the good God and father of my Lord Jesus Christ.
Don’t be so need conscious that when you think of God, the only thing that comes to your mind is your needs , Give thanks, praise, and declare his works with shouts of joy and singing. The Word of God is for doing. It’s not for reading and typing amen only
