The word for today is - Thanks!

Good morning,

The word for today is- Thanks !

 

First thing is we must give God, thanks! We thank you Lord for waking us up this morning and starting our day, Psalm 118:24, This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.Read 1 Thessalonians 5:18,In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. It says in everything, We are to rejoice in Him ( Jesus). Read Colossians 3:17,And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. We must do all things to the Glory of God. The believers  should always do good to others.The believers should be loving, and compassionate towards all. If your not ,then you have some work to do!  Let's look at Psalm 150:6,Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord. Why? Read Colossians 1:16,For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him. All things being created by Him, were created for him; being made by his power, they were made according to his pleasure, and for his praise and glory.We shall see the glory of God's plan of redemption, and rejoice in the hope set before us. Do you not know the Love Christ has for us? He loves us so that, He laid down His life for us. Christ died for us, the believers. Why would you not give thanks? He tells us in Psalm 100,Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands. Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing. Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations. Did you get that? For His goodness and mercy for  us, worship Him in spirit and truth. If people withhold their praise to God, the stones will have to cry out. Let's look at Luke 19:39-40, And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out. Did you get that? They are asking the Master, the greatest teacher that ever walk the earth, Jesus ! Are you thankful to God, for all He has done for you? Somethings God has done for us; God's guidance and instruction for us read Psalm 16:7,48:14,71:17; When you were in trouble, God heard your cries for help read Psalm 18:6;22:24,For not staying angry with us and not giving up on us read Psalm 30:5; For listening to your prayers read Psalm 28:6,66:20,116:1-2; We must thank Him ! How ? We must do it with your mouth, not just your mind, Psalm 51:15,63:5,66:8,119:171-172;  The key is this,Do it with all your heart, read Psalm 9:1,86:12,111:1,138:1. Also the word tells us read Psalm 22:23, Ye that fear the Lord, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel.  Do, we understand who God really is and what he has done? If so then, Lift up your hands to Him. Read Psalm 63:4-5,Thus will I (Sheila) bless thee while I (Sheila) live: I (Sheila) will lift up my hands in thy name.My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips. When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches. Read Psalm chapter 63 He is your Helper! Thank you God for your word. Amen !
