“O give thanks unto the LORD, for He is good…” (1 Chronicles 16:34).
The Hebrew word for good is towb which gives the idea of being “excellent, right, and kind.” Today will be an excellent day to be on the watch for the many times God will show His goodness to you. Ask Him to help you see His good hand working throughout the day. Sometimes when we pass through stormy trials we become so focused on the problem that we lose sight of the many blessings God brings throughout the storm. Sometimes at this time of the year we can experience an intense thunderstorm or two! As the sun begins to break through the storm clouds, some of the most beautiful rainbows will be painted by the Master Artist. But if I focus just on the puddles, I will miss the rainbow. Wise walkers keep glancing upwards as they dodge the puddles. Don’t miss the rainbow! Likewise be watching for the Lord to show you how good He is.
For today: Throughout your day, be sure to give Him thanks because He is good indeed.
