Daily Devo 84 – Two Important Reactions

Lately I’ve been… let’s saying sweating from my eyes more than usual, and especially at videos that are emotional—you know, ones that pull at your heart. There’s one such video called Thank You, God by the Skit Guys. Basically it shows different people going through different hard life situations, and then it shows their response. And in each of the situations, there were two very important reactions: acknowledgement and thankfulness. In good times and not-so-good times, it’s important to both acknowledge by celebrating or mourning, and then also find ways to be thankful to God in the midst of it. What are you going through and what are you thankful for?

Challenge: take a minute to acknowledge and be thankful. Acknowledge whether your life is good, hard, or just meh. And then pursue hope by finding something to be thankful for. Thank God for that! Thank God that He’s always with you, even when you can’t see or feel him there. Take some time acknowledge your reality, and thank God that he’s constantly working in it for you.
