"The Good Old Days"

S – Ps 77:5 – “I think of the good old days, long since ended.

O – The Jews had seen some great times, but at this time in the Bible, things are going bad, and they are asking, “Where is God?” I think we are just like them. It’s easy to praise God when things are good, but we seem to turn from praise to blaming God when things are bad. Jesus never promised us that things would always be good in our lives. But He promises to always be there. Things may change in our lives…. Our pastor may leave the church, the church loses members, we lose a loved one, we lose our job. And it’s easy to look back and say, “remember when things were good?” During these times we have to hold on to God and have faith. It is during these times where we usually see the most spiritual growth. These are the times when you will know just how important God is to your life.

A – During difficult times, draw closer to God

P – Father, help me to know that life is not perfect, but you are. Help me to remain faithful during difficult times.
