Since I am not liking what is happening in my life, I am focusing on scripture verses that come up in my devotionals. Here are the ones for today that are encouraging me and I pray that they will encourage you too.

Since the veil in the temple was torn after Jesus’s death on the cross, the gates into the temple are always open for us. He lives with us, in us and through us. Thus giving thanks and praising Him is as simple as opening your mouth and speaking it. No need to hop in the car and head to church this morning. Just praise God right where you are. I am not thankful for the circumstances, but I am thankful that God is God and worthy of praise.

God is always good, His mercy is always there for us and His truth never changes. Leaders change, the world changes and health changes. But God NEVER changes. Let that sink in. It calms me and gives me hope and peace.

Have a blessed day as you offer praise to the Only One who is worthy!
