Gary Mathena - It's Good To Be Here (CD)

As we journey through life, we often encounter moments that take our breath away—whether it's the beauty of a sunrise, the laughter of loved ones, or the stillness of a quiet evening. In Matthew 17, we find the story of the Transfiguration, where Peter, witnessing the glory of Jesus, exclaims, “It is good for us to be here.” This profound declaration resonates deeply, reminding us to pause and appreciate the present.

In our fast-paced world, it’s easy to get caught up in what’s next—our ambitions, our to-do lists, and our worries about the future. Yet, like Peter, we are called to recognize and celebrate the sacred moments that grace our lives. These moments remind us of God’s presence, His love, and the beauty of His creation.

Today, take a moment to reflect. What are you grateful for in this very moment? Whether it’s a small blessing or a significant milestone, acknowledge that it’s good to be where you are. Embrace the peace that comes from being present, and let this gratitude fill your heart.

May we learn to say, “It’s good to be here,” not only in extraordinary moments but also in the everyday ones. For in every circumstance, God is with us, inviting us to experience His goodness anew.
