The seal to your Miracle. 3.
Praise the Lord! For it is good to sing praises to our God; For it is pleasant, and praise is beautiful. The Lord builds up Jerusalem; He gathers together the outcasts of Israel. He heals the brokenhearted And binds up their wounds. He counts the number of the stars; He calls them all by name. Great is our Lord, and mighty in power; His understanding is infinite.
Psalms 147:1-5. NKJV.”
Do not allow the seemingly challenges to becloud your sense of thanksgiving.
A depressed man went to seek a counsellor with his wife, and after the counsellor had listened to his travails, asked the depressed man to undergo a little exercise before he will proffer solution to his depression. He was asked to go to his old school, asked for the register of his classmates and then track everyone of them down. That was before the advent of WhatsApp.
He grudgingly went to his old school, not knowing the essence of what he was asked to do. He collected 120names and started looking for them. After many weeks of research, what he found astounded him;
~ 20 of his classmates are dead. He didn’t know nor hear any news of their demise. ~ 6 of them are stupendously rich. ~ one has gone through 2divorces and is about to marry again. ~ 6 were confined to the hospital bed. ~ 6 are homeless and dependants. ~ 6 are confirmed drug addict. ~ 6 has children who are trouble children, ~ no matter what he tried, he could not locate the remaining 70people, nobody seems to know anything about them.
He went back to the counsellor and narrated his findings. And when he was asked about his depression, he said he was no longer depressed because of his findings. He had a different perspectives about things that caused the depression which are; ~ the daily financial commitment to his family. ~ school fees and tuition to pay. ~ the mortgages on his house. ~ the various commitment which his earnings seems not enough to cover. ~ and the debts he is paying back.
Reflection: If you think your case is worse off, then you won’t see what God had done for you!
