Finding Our New Normal #11
Karol Horken • August 19, 2020
In my last post, I talked about “reviewing the good things” that happened during the day. It’s quite amazing what I discover when I choose to practice this exercise. If I am not intentional about looking for the good, those things slide under my radar, but when I search for them, they are there.
Each day let’s make it our goal to find three good things that happened in the previous eight hours. There are certain days when I can find 5-8 things but honestly, on other days I am hard-pressed to find one. If that’s you, search for the “one” until you find it. Then say,
“Thank You, God for ______________ .”
(Fill in the blank)
Did this one thing bring you joy, make you smile, lighten your heart? If so, it was worth the effort of searching for it.
As a parent, it brings me joy when my children say, “thank you.” I am sure God feels the same way when one of His
children acknowledges what He has done for them.
Having a grateful heart creates a healthy environment for our relationship with God. In this atmosphere of thankfulness, we are able to sense God’s presence and enjoy His fellowship. It doesn’t get much better than that!
Let’s practice looking for the good as we enter our “new normal.”
Thank You! Everything in me says “Thank You!
Thank You for Your love, thank You for Your faithfulness.
The moment I called out, You stepped in;
You made my life large with strength.”
Psalms 138: 1-3 (The Message Bible)

When we talk to God about our concern, the Bible says we can expect that God will cause our thoughts to become agreeable to His will, and then we’ll know what to do. It’s not as hard as we think. As we spend time with God, it will become our key to success.
