This Is My Cry

And, yet, God is still good.

Some seasons have really high highs and really low lows. I'm learning that "embracing the moment" doesn't always end well because times can just get tough. However, embracing God in every moment has totally changed my perspective. Because God is not circumstantial like we are as people, He is always good.

People can fail you and me left and right but God promises to never fail us. So the situation is no longer how can I find the good in this circumstance, but how can I choose to focus on the goodness of God throughout the circumstances I'm given which I have no control over.

This is my cry:

"I will praise the Lord no matter what happens. I will constantly speak of his glories and grace. I will boast of all his kindness to me. Let all who are discouraged take heart. Let us praise the Lord together and exalt his name. For I cried to him and he answered me! He freed me from all my fears."

Psalm 34:1-4

What if that became our reality: "I will praise the Lord no matter what happens."

This is my prayer for the upcoming season of fall kicking into gear for you and me. Let's choose to look past the circumstances we are in and truly begin to keep our minds focused on the goodness of God.
