Deuteronomy 7:9
The sun is shining brightly with no cloud in the sky. The birds are chirping. No disagreements hanging over your head. No pressures. All bills is paid. Nothing but clear sailing. Little wonder you find yourself saying out loud, "Lord, this is great. You are wonderful!
True, we get excited about God when circumstances are delightful, when the weather invigorated us, bills are paid, the medical check-up goes fine, and nobody is holding anything over our heads. When things are good, God is good. If things are bad, then God is off in Tasmania taking care of the little devils, or in the south China sea setting the stage for Armageddon.
We are so prone to let our circumstances whether good or bad dictates our lives and views of God. But time again the Bible tells us that God is faithful. He is not just a faithful God but the faithful God. He is the same steadfast and good Father yesterday, today, and forever. Scripture alone should be our frame of reference for who the Lord really is, for circumstances do not a good theology make. Remember this, next time you are quick to tell God how wonderful He is on a golden morning or a peaceful fireside evening. Whether the day is grand or gloomy, every day is a great day to give praise to God.
