In Spite of; You're STILL Blessed!

. . . Your clothes did not wear out and your feet did not swell during those forty years. (DEUTERONOMY 8:4, NKJV)

It's normally easy for us to take God's Protection and Blessings for granted . . ., especially when we find ourselves in an uncomfortable position and/or unwelcoming circumstances. Our focus seems to only concentrate on what we don't have, who won't help and etc. However, we often times miss NOTICING and THANKING God for the things that are STILL going well IN OUR FAVOR! For example: when our car DOESN'T BREAK DOWN, when we HAVE MONEY for that unexpected bill, when WE'RE ABLE to go to the Doctor and etc.

The Children of Israel also failed to take notice, it seems; for they didn't even notice that in 40 years of wandering in the desert, their clothes didn't wear out and their feet didn't swell. Thus, they did not remember to give thanks to God for these Blessings.

Yes, you may be going through some things right now. You may have gotten a “no” and need a “yes.” You may feel like giving up. Your back may be up against the wall. You ARE tired and feel like you can’t go on. You may have just fallen down and/or out. But, have you considered the good things in your favor? Are you thanking God for this opportunity to see Him as your Savior, Healer, Deliverer, Restorer and Provider? Are you thanking God that because of His Son’s Blood you will Overcome; you will come out Victorious? Look forward to Testifying about His Goodness, Faithfulness, Love, Forgiveness and Mercy! Praise and Focus your way out through His Word!

What’s STILL working well for you? What’s STILL giving you good service? What’s STILL lasting for a long time without breaking down or apart? Remember to thank God in the midst of the desert and/or storm for His quiet Blessings!
