Lord We will Triumph

For You, Lord, have made me glad through Your work; I will triumph in the works of Your hands.
Psalm 92:4

Thoughts:
Our prayers are often a list of petitions, asking God to remove us from our trouble, or change our circumstance. We may feel as though each one has been ignored because we have yet to see results. We all have problems, some worse than others, but it is how we choose to deal with them that makes all the difference. It’s easy to serve God and sing His praises, when our lives are full and His blessings are overshadowing all else. Yet too often when trouble is surrounding us, our lips remain silent. We have to make a choice to praise Him in all things knowing, not just saying, that He is working all things for our good. When our lips are dry and chapped from the harsh desert air, we still praise Him as much as when the sweet rain refreshes our souls. We make a choice to continue to serve and to grow in good times or bad. God’s hands are molding us all uniquely, forming us for His purpose. Each hurdle we jump brings us a little closer to the finish. No, our prayers are never ignored and we can be joyful and praise Him in all things, all the time.

Prayer:
Place your song in our heart today, and fill us with joy overflowing, we trust that you are working things together perfectly for our good. We are not fair weather servants; we will serve you always and sing your praises when facing good times or bad. Thank you for your faithfulness. We love you with all our hearts. Amen.
