Life is good!

Wisdom to Change
Oh, taste and SEE that the Lord is good Psalm 34:8


How can you say life is good, with so many things going on in the world today? Well, I can say this with confidence because I keep my eyes on the Lord and no matter what I may face or what trial I may be going through, I know that the end is good. If I look at what I’m going through, I know I will get discouraged. But if I go to the Word and find out what it has to say about my situation, my focus will be different. Things look brighter in the Word.


An example of this is the prophet Elisha. He was surrounded by a great army and his servant came out to him fearful, afraid and worried because of what he saw. Elisha immediately told the servant, do not fear. Then Elisha prayed Lord I pray open his eyes that he may see. Well, the Lord opened the servant’s eyes and he saw the mountain full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha. It’s was easy for the servant to panic because of what he saw, but because Elisha saw differently because he knew who to look to in order for the army to be defeated.


The servant and Elisha saw the same army surrounding them. How did Elisha see differently from the servant? Elisha had a trust beyond seeing. He kept his eyes on the Lord, instead of running and hiding. He was able to recall what the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob did for the children of Israel.


Are there things in your life you can recall which caused you to look at it differently? Can you recall an impossible situation which God turnaround because you changed your focus? Was there ever a time you were going through, then you picked up His Word and read a verse that spoke to you? If you said YES to all these questions, you can say life is good because you look at things through the eyes of Christ. As you continue in prayer and continue in His Word, you will see things changing for the better, but most of all you will see the goodness of God.


Have a Beautiful Day
