The Lord has done great things for us;
We are glad.
Psalm 126 v 3

Often we take for granted and forget what the Lord has done for us so far in our lives. He has chosen us. We have not chosen Him. He has chosen us to be in personal relationship with Him. He has chosen us to share a spiritual inheritance of eternal life with His Son Jesus. He has chosen us to reign with Him as His viceroys on Earth and even share His power on the throne of heaven. He has chosen us to receive the crown of salvation and rich rewards for our good deeds. As it is written, “ Behold what manner of love the Father has shown us that we should be called the children of God.” Such a calling is higher than the highest title or status on Earth for the latter shall perish while the former will stand forever.
Even in our daily walk, He has done great things for us even as He did for the Israelites. He has done the equivalent of resurrecting me from the grave as He did to Lazarus who was bound in his grave clothes. Yet we walk around sad and mourning as if we have been bound in grave clothes. We need to free ourselves and be glad forever. He has done the equivalent of parting the Red Sea when our enemies were in hot pursuit of us. He has spared our lives from the hands of many an evil Haman. He has rescued us from mishaps and tragedies all through our lives. He has provided for us abundantly and generously to meet all our need and to be able to share some with the needy. He has healed us of all our diseases and kept us from the grave. He has filled our mouth with good news and our lives with benefits in accordance with His faithful promises. He has increased us step by step. He has guarded us against our own folly, pride and deceit. He has kept us from being ensnared by lust or temptations. He has strengthened us greatly to endure trials and troubles and to emerge victorious, stronger and unscathed.


We need to value our Praisebook account over our Facebook account and recount all the great things He has accomplished in our lives hitherto. This paves the way for our faith to sustain, to grow so that we are prepared or primed to believe and receive even more miracles and blessings in our lives. The more we remember, acknowledge the hand of the Lord in our lives, the more our hearts are glad and blessed. We will not “kill our temples” – our bodies and minds with needless worry, fears, discontentment, insecurity. Our hearts, minds and bodies are made or engineered for gladness not sadness. Pain and sadness are for the exceptional circumstance not the rule or routine. If we truly believe we are living in God’s realm- the kingdom of God, the kingdom of Christ, our hearts and minds should be ever flowing like a fountain with gladness and joy.
