Daily Devotions

God is certainly with us when things are going well, but He is also with is with us when things aren’t going so well. God us there when we achieve a major accomplishment or victory in life, but He is also there in the hospital room when we receive the bad news we were hoping not to hear. Whether in the ups or the downs, God us with us in every case.
Psalm 30:11-12 says, “You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; You have put off my sackcloth and clothed me with
gladness, to the end that my glory may sing praise to You and not be silent.”
The key thought is this: Whether you are going through weeping or joy, give thanks to God. Whether you are in an up time or a down time, give thanks to God. If you are experiencing prosperity or poverty, give thanks to God. If you are in times of dancing or of mourning, give thanks to God. Don’t ever forget that the one constant in all of life is God’s presence with you, and for that He deserves to be praised. (Dr. David Jeremiah in his devotional book, “Sanctuary”).
