Take a moment and reflect on the last good thing that has happened in your life. When was it, and why would you define it as good? How long did it take you to think of something good? It is a simple question, but for many people, it can be difficult to answer. Humans have a relatively short memory, especially when it comes to the good that happens in our lives. So often we focus all our attention on the problems of life, without taking the time to remember any of the good that has happened in and through our lives. We remember all of our hardships and troubles, but we are quick to forget all the good that God has done in our lives.
All good things have their source in God, and Psalm 126:3 boldly tells us, "Te LORD has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy." Note the tense of the verse. God has already done good things in our lives. He has given us air to breathe and another day to rejoice in His glory. He gives us the desires our hearts, and He makes His presence known in our lives.
It is God's desire to be glorified in our lives, and when we dwell in His Spirit, we see His character revealed to us. Jamie Munson writes, "God's actions reveal his character to us. As we reflect on what God has done and what he has said about himself, we learn more about him." Take another moment to reflect on what God has done for you lately. What does it reveal about Him?
