Greg Laurie said in the message that I’ve just listened to that we should be as quick to thank God as we are to plead to Him when we are in a dire situation. Unfortunately, we tend to attribute the ‘good’ things to ‘luck’ or ‘chance’... or just completely forget about giving thanks for them at all... And this includes thanking Him for the ‘bad’ things as well.

One reason is because it is not so clear on this side of heaven to know what the ‘good’ and ‘bad’ things are in life. We also have no idea how all the situations we find ourselves in are going to play themselves out. I always say that there’s no point worrying about things which we have no control over (of course it follows that we have no reason to worrying about the things which are under our control – bottom-line: don’t worry...).

This is particularly relevant to me this weekend because I just made a major mistake on Saturday that would qualify as one of those dire situations. Good time to practice what I preach I suppose. I must say that I was a little anxious... more upset with myself actually...

Settling down, I know that it is completely out of my hands... They are in His hands...

All I can do... what I should do... Is to pray and wait for the outcome... He knows what my desire outcome is... I just hope that He will choose to bless me with it!
