I have a question for you today. Which is it easier for us to do--notice something that is going right--or notice something that is wrong? Do we notice everything that might be clean in our house, or notice what is messy?
In today's Psalm--Psalm 47--we are actually instructed what to do! I wrote down two verses in my Bible notebook:
"Oh, clap your hands, all you peoples! Shout to God with the voice of triumph!" Psalm 47:1
"Sing praises to God, sing praises! Sing praises to our King, sing praises!" Psalm 47:6
Singing praises. Shouting His glory. These are actions we are to be doing. Are we instead starting a "waterfall" of complaints? We can tell Him our needs--He WANTS us to tell Him. And then leave our problems right there at His feet. Knowing that we have given the problems to Him. Knowing that He will take care of them.
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:6-7
So go ahead and notice your problems. Notice them and pick them up and take them right to Jesus. Hand them over--FEEL the lightness as you release them to Him, and walk away singing praises to Him.
Take your burdens to Him today. He is waiting right now for you!
