SIMPLE ESSENTIALS PRAISE

GOD IS NEVER FAR AWAY

It is always easy to believe that God is close by when things are going well; but how do you feel when circumstances are not as you expected?  It may be that you are not as well as you want to be or perhaps you desire some things that you cannot afford.  Whatever the situation let me remind you that He is never ever far away.  

Look around you and you will see that He is all around you every moment.  He is in the air your breathe, in the steps you take, in the words you speak and in the very essence of your being.  All you have to do is seek Him, feel after Him and Find Him.  

Acts 17:27-28 (KJV)
That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:

For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.

YOU KNOW HE IS NEAR WHEN YOU CAN...

Say Good Morning - Someone didn't wake up today!

Read This - That proves that you are not blind!

Move around - That shows that you have the use of your legs!

Talk - When you said Good Morning 

SO HOW ABOUT SOME PRAISE!!!!  GLORY - HALLELUJAH!!!!!

TODAY'S FOCUS:  GOD'S GOODNESS IS IN THE SIMPLE AND ESSENTIAL THINGS

Sometimes we spend more time thinking of the things we need, don't have or what was done to us. Just the fact that we woke up, could see walk and talk should be enough to give a shout out to our faithful Daddy for life!

Let's think of some of the simple things that we can overlook that speaks of His goodness: Here are a couple of examples:

1. Being able to scratch yourself - Thankful for hands
2. Eat and Swallow - Thankful that you are not on a feeding tube

Can you make a list of a few more simple essentials that you can praise God for while you wait for your prayers to be answered, breakthroughs or blessings?

A lack of gratitude can be a setback.  As individuals you may hold back until someone shows their gratitude.  

While I understand that God's grace, mercy and love does not depend on us, a heart and attitude of gratitude is  still required of us. 

Remember, He is never far away.  He is also a Rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. Hebrews 11:6.  Seek Him Happily and you will find that He is only a praise away.  The simple essentials can bring that on.  If you can be thankful and express gratitude for the things that you have you will enjoy the essence of life in its simplicity even if you have not yet received the things that you desire.  Know that the very things that you take for granted while complaining is a miracle to someone else.  

So get up everyday and Start your Day Right in Prayer and Praise!

God Bless and Keep the Faith!
