Learn How To React To His Goodness, His Grace, His Love, and His Mercy .... Rather Than Your Pain.....

Looking back what do you see?   Do you see hurt, pain, discouragement and despair?   Or do you see God?   Do you see His deliverance?   Do you see His grace?   His Power?   How about His protection?  

We have to learn to see through the eyes of God.   We have to understand that we are His children and the sheep of His pasture?   A shepherd cares for His sheep.   If one gets injured or hurt in any way....He cares for them.   He doesn't abandon His flock based on their pain or inability to move as fast as others.   He does what is necessary to carry them and keep them safe and warm until they are able to get past whatever it is that is causing them pain.  

That's God.   He has not abandoned you.    Things you thought you would never make it through....God has carried you through them.    What we tend to do is give reactions based on our pain.   We tend to overlook the fact that we made it out of whatever attack the enemy had planned for us and we meditate on the things that were coming against us rather than the deliverance that God provided for us. 

Switch your reaction today.   React to His goodness, His grace, His love and His mercy.   Stop reacting to the pain.   Understand that your pain is only temporary but God's goodness, grace, love, and mercy endures forever.   

Know that you are blessed.   Know why you are blessed.   You are blessed in order to be a blessing.   Know that you trial and your affliction are lessons that you too will teach.   Understand that you teach by your response.   When people see how you respond to pain....it allows them to see who God is and the peace of God that passes all of our understanding.   

When you stop today and look back over your life.....choose to see and respond to His goodness, His grace, His love, and mercy.   

Worship For Today....
