God Has Been Good to Me

This sermon explores the journey of thanksgiving through adversity by examining Psalm 13, a lament psalm written by King David. The message emphasizes that true thanksgiving isn't merely a Sunday confession but a daily reality that must be lived through life's battlegrounds. Drawing from David's progression from complaint to confidence, the sermon teaches that spiritual maturity involves acknowledging our pain honestly before God, praying for divine perspective, and allowing our past experiences with God to lead us to praise. The core message challenges believers to move beyond superficial gratitude and develop a deep relationship with God that enables them to declare "God has been good to me" even in the midst of trials. The sermon emphasizes that God's goodness isn't dependent on our circumstances but is rooted in His unchanging character and faithfulness.
