From a friend's friend..

God is good,
my life is beautiful,
miracles happen,
God is full of blessing.

Yea you hear those positive praise and worship all the time.
Most of the time, I bet they come from people who just got termendous blessings in their life.
New job, salary raise, new house, promotion, or recovery from illness, etc.

Have you ever heard somebody said,
"I'm jobless, I got cancer, my wife left me, and God is good!"

Of course, nobody wants to 'ruin' God's name by associating Him with the misery of life.
But I'm not talking about testifying in front of people or anything like that here.
I wonder if people who are in misery even think to themselves that God is good ? It does take courage to come forward and share your blessing with others. But how easy it is to testify for God's grace and mercy when we're joyful?
I found it easier to testify in front of 1000 people that God is good, when our life is on the peak, than to say to ourselves that God is good, when our life is at the rock bottom.
Saying it is easy, but..
Can we really mean it when we say 'God is full ofblessings' even though we're in a deep shit?
When we are in troubles, we come to God with tons of wishes and complaints. Hardly remember to praise and worship God deep inside our heart, just the way we do when we just got that promotion or first house.
Can we still have those joyful songs and prayers when our life is nothingbut uncertainties?
I try, and try, everyday, to mean what I say, when I say 'I believe in God and all His miracles'.

I slowly discover, that God might not give me the way out right away, but if I have praise and worship in my heart everyday, I find peace that helps me through my days.
Peace and patience are the immediate way out that God will for sure give me, whenever I surrender to Him.
