Thought for Today: Wednesday February 02:

Thank YHVH today for everything that are troubling you. Maybe you are feeling on the brink of rebellion, precariously close to shaking your fist at YHVH. You feel tempted to indulge in just a little complaining about His treatment of you. But once you step over that line, -- torrents of rage and self-pity can sweep you away. The best protect against this indulgence is thanksgiving. It is impossible to thank YHVH and be angry with Him at the same time. Thanking Him for trials will feel awkward and contrived at first. But if you persist, your thankful words, prayed in faith, will eventually make a difference in your heart. Thankfulness awakens you to YHVH’s Presence, which overshadows all your problems.
