Have you ever considered that the most sacred moments in your life might be hiding in plain sight? 

Today we explore Psalm 103:2, diving deep into what it means to "never forget the good things" God does for us. This isn't just about the dramatic miracles or mountain-top experiences—though those are certainly worth celebrating. Instead, we're turning our attention to the quiet blessings that often go unnoticed: the morning breath, the perfect cup of coffee, an unexpected text from a friend, or a moment of peace in the chaos.

These seemingly ordinary experiences aren't just nice moments—they're glimpses of divine grace woven into the fabric of our everyday lives. When we begin to recognize them for what they truly are, it transforms how we move through our days. Gratitude begins to lift the heaviness we carry. Worship evolves from an occasional activity into a constant way of seeing the world around us.

What makes this perspective so powerful is that it remains accessible even "in the middle of waiting or struggle or questions." God's goodness doesn't disappear when circumstances get difficult. He continues doing good things, showing up, and loving us—sometimes in ways so subtle we might miss them if we're not paying attention. Today, I invite you to pause, look around, and let every part of your being remember and praise God for His goodness that surrounds you, even in the most ordinary moments. Join me for this soul-refreshing exploration of finding the sacred in the everyday, and discover how this simple shift in perspective might just change everything about how you experience your life. Don't forget to subscribe and share this episode with someone who might need this gentle reminder today.

00:00:01.421 --> 00:00:06.253
Welcome to Wisdom for the Day, your daily source for spiritual refreshment and guidance.

00:00:06.253 --> 00:00:07.602
I'm Rick.

00:00:07.602 --> 00:00:12.512
Join me as I dive into God's Word to find clarity and strength for life's challenges.

00:00:12.512 --> 00:00:18.324
Let me help you embrace each day with faith and wisdom, Ready to feel inspired.

00:00:18.324 --> 00:00:19.929
Let's get started.

00:00:19.929 --> 00:00:21.762
And now.

00:00:21.762 --> 00:00:23.388
Weekends with Lauren.

00:00:25.881 --> 00:00:29.310
Today is Day 193, grace in the Ordinary.

00:00:29.310 --> 00:00:33.831
We'll be in Psalm 103, verse 2 from the New Living Translation.

00:00:33.831 --> 00:00:37.067
Let all that I am praise the Lord.

00:00:37.067 --> 00:00:39.968
May I never forget the good things he does for me.

00:00:39.968 --> 00:00:45.530
Hey, it's Saturday, and welcome to Weekends with Lauren.

00:00:45.530 --> 00:00:47.424
Now let's slow down a little.

00:00:47.445 --> 00:00:51.310
Today, not everything has to be loud or dramatic to be holy.

00:00:51.310 --> 00:00:55.850
Sometimes the most sacred moments are the ones we almost overlook.

00:00:55.850 --> 00:01:00.228
Psalm 103.2 reminds us not to forget the good things.

00:01:00.228 --> 00:01:01.680
God does Not.

00:01:01.680 --> 00:01:02.944
The big miracles, though.

00:01:02.944 --> 00:01:05.709
Those are amazing, but the small ones too.

00:01:06.531 --> 00:01:17.269
The breath in your lungs this morning, the cup of coffee that actually hits right, the text from a friend, the moment of peace in the middle of a loud week these aren't just nice moments.

00:01:17.269 --> 00:01:19.180
They're glimpses of grace.

00:01:19.180 --> 00:01:23.829
And when we start to see them for what they really are, it changes how we move through the day.

00:01:23.829 --> 00:01:26.433
Gratitude lifts the heaviness.

00:01:26.433 --> 00:01:29.587
Worship becomes more than just a song.

00:01:29.587 --> 00:01:31.525
It becomes a way of seeing.

00:01:31.525 --> 00:01:35.409
It's easy to miss the good when we're distracted by what's still broken.

00:01:35.409 --> 00:01:41.233
But even in the middle of waiting or struggle or questions, god is still doing good things.

00:01:41.233 --> 00:01:44.242
He's still showing up and he's still loving you.

00:01:44.242 --> 00:01:45.043
So today, pause and praise.

00:01:45.043 --> 00:01:47.225
Look around, god is still doing good things, he's still showing up and he's still loving you.

00:01:47.225 --> 00:01:47.746
So today, pause and praise.

00:01:47.746 --> 00:01:54.013
Look around, let all that you are in heart, mind and soul remember the goodness of God.

00:01:54.013 --> 00:01:58.691
It's there, even here.

00:01:58.691 --> 00:02:00.022
So let's pray.

00:02:00.022 --> 00:02:02.625
God, help me not to miss the little miracles today.

00:02:02.625 --> 00:02:06.028
Open my eyes to the blessings that are already around me.

00:02:06.028 --> 00:02:10.835
Let my heart stay soft, my spirit grateful and my words full of praise.

00:02:10.835 --> 00:02:19.687
Amen, and I'll see you tomorrow on Weekends with Lauren.

00:02:19.687 --> 00:02:31.118
