Trials!!

Meditation:

Give thanks unto the Lord, call upon His name, make known His deeds among the people." 1 Chronicles 16:8

Explanation:

If you are a child of God, you ought to be able to thank God every moment of every day no matter what happens to you. Have you ever stopped to thank God for the water that you drink? Did you know that in some third world countries the majority of the population doesn't have reasonably pure drinking water? Millions of people die annually just from water related diseases. If you wear a hearing aide, do you ever thank God for that? Some people wish they had a hearing aide. If you are a student in the midst of final exams, do you thank God that you have an exam to take? There are many who wish they could afford college. Do you thank God for your next breath?

Ang pinakamahirap siguro gawin eh yung sinasabi natin na hindi natin ginagawa, ano yun? Yun bang sasabihin na anuman ang pagsubok sa buhay haharapin at ipagpapasalamat sa Diyos. Pero pagnariyan na ang pagsubok bagkus ipagpasalamat, minsan nasisisi pa ang Diyos. Ganito na ba talaga ang tao? Pero ito ang problema sa tao hindi nakikita yung biyaya ng Diyos na magagawa Niya sa oras ng pagsubok, sapagkat laging kinakaya ng tao ang anumang dumarating sa kanya, ang Diyos sa huli na lang pag sa tingin ng tao wala na siyang masulingan. Ano ang itinuturo sa atin ng salita Niya, pasalamatan natin Siya sa anumang pag-subok sa ating buhay.

Take whatever it is that looks like a trial in your life today and thank God for it! Thank Him every time the thought enters your mind to grumble or complain.
