Does the Sun Still Shine When it's Cloudy?

Thankful for blessing or thankful for the Blesser?

Does the sun quit shining when a cloud covers its view?

Does the sun not produce warmth when all I feel is cold?

Does the sun extinguish at night?

The sun is constant, unchanging, always producing and dispensing light and heat. The difference in affect on my life is the atmosphere that comes between me and the sun. To a large extent I choose the mental atmosphere that surrounds me.

If I can't feel God's warmth, joy, assurance, peace and light it is not because He changed.

Am I only grateful for the sun on a clear, warm day?

If so, I am only grateful at all when life feels good and I feel blessed.

Gratitude and praise become as fickle as the weather and the atmosphere over me.

When I am ungrateful and can't praise God I profess that the sun has gone out.

I am bearing false witness against the goodness of God.

Blessing flows from God undiminished and more constant than light and heat flow from the sun.
