I like to try and keep a thankful heart before the Lord. No matter the circumstance I like to give praise to God. I will always be grateful to God for stepping into my life and delivering me from drug addiction, alcoholism, and just plain having a stinking bad attitude. This alone gives me something to always be thankful for. But....
....Even if I lost everything would I still be able to praise God with a thankful heart? Could I see past the loss of my job, my house, my Jeep, my health, loved ones and failed relationships? Would I see past all of that and still remember how faithful my Heavenly Father was on that night to come and rescue me from myself and the grip of satan? He did save my miserable soul from hell fire after all. I would like to answer these questions with 'YES' I would always give God honor where honor is due.
Could I be as strong as Job was? Even with a woman barking in my ear and friends telling me how horrible my circumstances are, could I be that strong? I think I could be, only if I keep seeking God and pushing into Him. Seeking and knowing God's heart leaves me with an inexpressible peace. Knowing for sure His Spirit is with me always gives me a thankful heart. No matter what I am to lose or gain I will always have God's sweet Spirit and I am thankful for that.
