Stand amazed.

There have been seasons in my life when I’ve felt like God was silent. And then there have been seasons of blessings overflowing.

I’ll admit, it is hard to stay thankful in the dry seasons. It’s hard to praise God when life is falling apart. But, I’ll also admit that by praising God, by focusing your thoughts on Him, this is when God is so close. It’s times like these that I can feel God’s arms around me. It’s a peace that you only understand if you’re a child of God.

I think God feels it too. I know the feeling of being needed. Don’t you know that God loves it when we’re reaching out to Him; when we cry out to Him for help? He loves His children and wants nothing but the best for us. He cares when we’re crying.

Whether it’s a dry season of trials, or a rainy season of blessings, I give God thanks. And, I constantly stand amazed at the answered prayers and miracles along my life’s journey.

Be patient in the dry seasons. Know that God’s working behind the scenes. Praise Him regardless of the circumstances you find yourself in.

Stand amazed at God’s presence. Stand amazed at His promises and never forget that He will never stop loving you.

John 4:13-14 - “Jesus said to her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”
