The Word TODAY

Job 1:20-21 Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped, And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD. In II Samuel 20, King David’s child was very sick to the point of death, this made the king cry to God in prayers for the child’s recovery. David refused to eat, fasted and prayed for many days but eventually the child did not make it. When David realized that the child did not make it, instead of fighting with God like many of us would have done because we did not get what we wanted from God, he praised God in the face of this disappointment as it were to the amazement of everybody around him …Then David arose from the earth, and washed, and anointed himself, and changed his apparel, and came into the house of the LORD, and worshipped: then he came to his own house; and when he required, they set bread before him, and he did eat (II Samuel 12:20). In the face of trials and difficulties what do you do? Do you thank and praise God like David did? No matter the situation your find yourself in, God expects us to sing His praise. I Thessalonians 5:16-18; Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. No matter what may have happened to you, know that if God is there, all things will work for your good. Take time out to thank God today for those things you may not understand. Pray with me: Father, I thank you for everything you are doing in my life- the good,bad & ugly. I say you alone deserve all the honour and praise. Praise the Lord!
