Walking around these walls
I thought by now they’d fall
But You have never failed me yet
Waiting for change to come
Knowing the battle’s won
For You have never failed me yet

How awesome is it that we worship a God who is good “all the time.” There is nothing that we can do to cause God to change. This gives us freedom from the fear that our actions will cause God to become a tyrant.
God loves us regardless of how we feel about him, or how we act. His love for us is a solid foundation on which we can build our lives. While we may choose wrong things and face the consequences of those choices, we can never do anything that will cause God to stop loving us.
God has a plan for each of our lives. This can be easy to forget during the hustle and bustle of living. So when things do not go as “we” planned it is easy to feel as if the ground beneath us is going to give way. Yet, as we follow after God we can rest assured that he will make a way for he is in control, and we will see good in the land of the living.
Repeat as necessary
God is good, he loves me, and has a good plan for my life!
God is Good
That should be our cry from the rooftops each and every morning
God is Good
That should be shown in our actions as we go throughout our day
God is Good
That should be our rope when the waters rise around us
God is Good
That should be our hope when we live through darker days
God is God
And people need to see us live this out
God is Good
Yes people this truth, need to see
God is Good
So no matter the situation we must say with remembrance
God is Good
He has been Good to me

When things get hard, and God is silent it is easy (oh so easy) to whine and complain. But that never got anyone anywhere with God.
I am in a season when the pressure is mounting minute by minute.
I am in a season of growth and stretching.
When God’s silence has rung loud in my ears.
I am tired and worn and was starting unravel.
I talked with a friend who encouraged me to take a walk so that I might hear from God.
I took the walk with less than low expectations and only heard one thing “Jammin.”
I felt a nudge to look up Jammin and England (where I was called to) and surprisingly came across a blog called “Jammin in the UK.” As far as I can tell the “Jammin” blog is all about being thankful.
I was quickly convicted that I have spent more time wondering and worrying than thanking.
I realize that I have make it a priority to proclaim why I am thankful. To remember all the very amazing ways that God has blessed me so.
Because even though I may not be hearing a lot from Him now, He has done so much for me.
He has:
Given me children.
Given me a nice home.
Given us food to eat and books to readJ
Comforted me when I was down.
Carried me when I thought I could go no farther.
The list goes on and on.
It is too much to blog about but I think I am going to write one for myself, and keep adding to it as He brings things to my mind.
And I am going to look at it often to remind me that “Thanksgiving” is not a just a holiday. For Christians it should be a way of life.
Even though things are hard that does not change the fact that God is good.
What are you thankful for?
