Psalms 107:28-31 -- On Prayer and Praise

"Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses.
He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.
Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven.
Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!"
Psalms 107:28-31


We don't give God enough credit.  He does so much for us, and most of the time we just blame him or expect him to make our lives immediately perfect, even when we caused the imperfections.

Certainly, when we pray and plead with God, he answers us.  He delivers us, he calms the literal in figurative storms.  He leads us all to our own personal promised lands.

Today, let's stop blaming God for all of our problems, and patting ourselves on the back for all of our successes.  Let's thank him for his infinite mercy, and saving us even from our own mistakes and intentional evil.  Let's praise him for his goodness. :)
