Half Full or Half Empty
Are you the type of person that when things are going good and your life seems great that then you can tell others how blessed your are and the wonders of God, but when trials enter in you find it much harder to keep praising him? I'm listening to Byron Cage "I will Bless the Lord" right now, and it's my third time in a row of hearing it. A lot of us find it easy to sing and bless the Lord when things are good in our lives, but this song that I'm listening to right now says that I will bless the Lord at ALL times, even when I'm lost and my strength seems gone. If we could all look at our stormy times as lessons from God instead of some kind of punishment, then I know we would all be able to reach the potential that God really has set for us. The only thing that holds us back from being great, is us. Our own minds keep us trapped. Bless the Lord at all times because He has done great things for you. Remember the times that you fell down, remember when you got a speeding ticket, remember when something you tried at something that didn't work out as planned. That speeding ticket could have kept you out of a fatal accident, when you fell down God just let you know how strong you really were when you were able to get back up, and always remember that when you've failed at something once you now have secret to make it work when you go back to try again. How do you view your big picture; is it half full or empty.

Another Awesome Blog/Powerful Message....I love that song and I'm so grateful HE Chose to Bless the LORD!!!The Words are so Anointed!!!!It's in those trying times that God teaches us that we Must PRAISE HIM!!!Is is hard at times, I would say Yes: however it is necessary and it makes you fall in Love with God all the more.No matter how rough life seems to get God is always taking care of us, and yes he is always doing Great Great things for us. just because first he breathed life into us.We should Bless his name just for that.Then when you look around and take a VIEW of what it could have been VS. what it is or even what it might look like now...Whew is all I can say.My all time favorie Song the Lord gave me a long long time ago is: Praise is what I do...Well of course I didn't know how deep those words and how much an effect they would have on my Daily walk with Christ.All I can say is I've LEARNED to Worship him.Through the Good and the Bad,Whelther Happy or Sad.The Lessons have taught me the word ALL means just what I wrote.Not just when I feel like it but when I don't feel like it so much too, and that is really the time I should priase him the greatest!!I belive God will FILL the Cup when you just Bless the Lord....
