All About GOD - Growing Relationships with Jesus and Others

So often in the rush of our daily lives we forget to praise our Lord and thank Him for all that is in our lives and for life itself. How deeply is Jesus in our hearts? Just for an example, do we remember what it is like to be in love with someone? How we cannot get that person out of our minds all day no matter what we are doing and it is even difficult to concentrate on anything else? All day long we anticipate getting back to that person to be with them again but we carry them around in our minds and in our hearts all the while. Do we carry that same love for Jesus with us throughout the day, anticipating our alone time with Him when we get back home? Do we stop and thank Him for even just a moment in that daily rush for all He has given us, especially through the tough moments when troubles come our way? That love will sustain us through those times and for that alone we have plenty to be thankful to God for. He is most certainly our ROCK!!! THANKYOU LORD FOR YOUR STRENGTH, YOUR MERCY, YOUR FAITHFULLNESS AND FOR YOUR UNFAILING LOVE!! AMEN!!

Psalm 92
1IT IS A GOOD THING TO GIVE THANKS UNTO THE LORD, AND TO SING PRAISES UNTO THY NAME, O MOST HIGH:
2To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night,
3Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound.
4For thou, LORD, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands.
5O LORD, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep.
6A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this.
7When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever:
8But thou, LORD, art most high for evermore.
9For, lo, thine enemies, O LORD, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
10But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.
11Mine eye also shall see my desire on mine enemies, and mine ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me.
12The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
13Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God.
14They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing;
15To shew that the LORD is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

Yes WE MUST stay on relying and praying, thanking and praising and worshipping and loving our Lord God . He takes care of us everyday. He loves us and he does restore us in his time and he answers our prayers. GOD IS OUR REFUGE AND STRENGTH. Excellent post Nancy.
I think it's so easy to skim over verse 4, "Made me glad through the work." We are His present day work. Yes, the work on the cross has been accomplished, but He is still using that work in the lives of people today, both for salvation and for sanctification. When we are swamped and overwhelmed with struggles or heartaches or disasters, He is working in and through us in that moment. Can we still praise Him then? We should, because as the verse says "He hast made me glad". It's a challenging thing to praise Him when we feel like everything is falling apart. But praise God, we're not responsible to do the work, only to yield to Him and praise the resulting growth.
