Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good!
His faithful love endures forever.
Give thanks to the God of gods.
Give thanks to the God of gods.
His faithful love endures forever.
Give thanks to the Lord of lords.
Give thanks to the Lord of lords.
His faithful love endures forever.

(Psalm 136:1-3)
With the attacks in Paris, ISIS growing at an alarming rate, things at home like a large pay cut, finding out my good friend might have cancer, and a dear family friend passing away long before her time, it all feels like the world is getting so dark. Is God's Faithful love there? Is He really good? The simple answer is, of course, yes even if our hearts don't feel it.
Here are some things to remember when I wonder where God's love is.
1. God saved me: He didn't have to, but he did. This one thing should be enough to make me thankful for the rest of my life. No matter how bad it is here, I know I have a place waiting for me up in Heaven!
2. He has been faithful to provide my needs: As we are given this pay cut, I have seen God provide in so many ways. It seemed difficult when my husband was going through teacher certification, and we could only use a certain portion of our salary during that time. Now I'm so thankful we learned to live on that amount of money, so that now we are better prepared.
3. Finally, He is God. He is the Creator of all the universe. He has a plan and purpose for all things, and although I don't understand why all the time, I can understand that He is God. That should be enough for me.
What are some things you are thankful for? How have you seen God provide your needs?
