Will You Remember The Greatness Today?

When our daily lives are filled with pain and misunderstandings, lost dreams and disappointments, it can become hard to see Jesus. Shelly reminds us how to remember His power again.

“These things I remember as I pour out my soul: how I used to go to the house of God under the protection of the Mighty One with shouts of joy and praise among the festive throng” (Psalm 42:4).

During this time, David’s soul was downcast within him. I’m so thankful the Holy Spirit inspired him to share the ugly along with the lovely, aren’t you?

David felt forgotten. He was oppressed. He suffered.

And so he responded by singing, by praying, by worshiping.

By remembering.

No matter what you are facing today, there are ways that we can remember the greatness. There are ways to find the blessings woven in.

* Watch a sunrise, the color of mercies new.

* Experience the wind blowing, invisible but powerful.

* Look for God’s little surprises throughout your day. Whatever speaks to you, is special to you. For me, it’s birds, especially red-winged blackbirds. Take special note of your love notes.

* Smell the freshly cut grass. Who but our God could think of that?

* Contemplate just one small detail that He has blessed you with this day. Then thank Him.

I hope these get you started. I hope you’ll share your own in the comments!

Remember the greatness. Find the blessings woven in.

Prayer: Only You, our Holy King, could design such a beautiful world that helps us to remember. Only You would send love notes to each one of us, tailored and specific to show Your great love and presence. We give You all the praise. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
