We have thought of Your steadfast love. O God, in the midst of Your temple. Psalm 48:9
There are times that I certainly feel overwhelmed with trying to balance my life-responsibilities at home and at work, obligations with family and friends, and as a result it’s easy to feel down. I question if I am being the husband and father that my family needs me to be. Am I a good son to my father? What about my sister? Am I the brother she needs me to be? Am I being a good neighbor? How is my performance at work? Am I going ‘above and beyond’ to serve as God would have me serve? Before I get too far down, I have found that it always seems to help to recall all of the good things that God has done, is doing, and is going to do in my life.
When we ponder the doings of God and the works of His hands, it is hard to stay down for long. The enemy will always come against us to make us feel depressed or discouraged, but we must choose to remember the times where God has blessed us and delivered us in the past.
When we focus on His good works, hope will rise in our hearts and our troubles won’t seem too big! Praise His holy name!
