The word for today is - Gratitude !

Good morning,

The word for today is - Gratitude !

 

Happy Thanksgiving to you all. Are you thankful? Read Psalm 100:1-4, 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. You should be thankful, why? because this is God's plan for you. Read Psalm 118:24, This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. We are told to be grateful and do so with joy and prayer. But do we need to be thankful for the problems in our lives? Yes ! Read 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18: “Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” The will of God is that we rejoice and be filled with gratitude and we are to give thanks for everything. Everything means just that, we are to give thanks for everything, not just the good things, but also the bad. Why? Because God knows the plans He has for us ! We may not understand why we are going through trials or tribulation, but it is God’s will. The word of God says, in Psalm 107:1, O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. Understand God's mercy is new everyday!!! The key is this, read Matthew 11:28,Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. The rest that you need is in Christ Jesus. Lets read Colossians 3:15, And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. So give thanks unto the Lord for this is His will for your life, He will give you peace within yourself (your heart)! Read Psalm 9:1-2, God's Word tells us that we need to show gratitude. If we face tribulations we are to be grateful as the rewards we will receive will be greater. So,Committing to a lifestyle of daily dying to self and living through Him is the foundation for true humility. Read Luke 9:23, And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. Are you following the will of God? It is a daily walk, give thanks for this day !Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !
