Psalm 89:15-18
Common English Bible (CEB)
There is a bit of a chicken-and-the-egg sort of approach to faithfulness that the church takes. One approach is to wait for God to act in tangible ways, and then we praise God for his faithfulness and blessings. The other, which I think is far wiser, is to praise God for his faithfulness and patience and mercy all the day long, and then to rejoice when God does act, recognizing that God has never ceased to uphold creation by his victorious right arm, but that reality is at times more apparent than others. Our praise of God should not depend on whether or not we can fully understand exactly what God is doing right now. Let us rejoice all the day long and trust that will shape us into people who then are better able to see the ways God is at work.
May you rejoice today
