BE THANKFUL!

Are you hurting today? Anxious today? Worried today, not knowing what tomorrow holds?

There is so much pain, so much turmoil in the world, in our lives.

Yet, there is A God that holds our very lives in His Hands. I encourage you to turn to Him.

When we find ourselves overwhelmed with burdens and worries about tomorrow, we can thank God for who He is and His promise to never leave or forsake us. We have been blessed with the free gift of salvation and eternal life in His Presence!

Psalm 107:1 says, “Oh, give thanks unto the Lord for He is good: for His mercy and loving-kindness endure forever.”

In the midst of all of our pain and suffering, God is still seated on His Throne. He alone holds our very lives in His Hands! We keep our eyes on Him. He is always with us, comforting, shielding, protecting us. We exalt Him above all and everything else and He brings us His peace. Our souls ache for His Presence and we thank Him with exuberant praise!

Psalm 107:22 says, “And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving and rehearse His deeds with shouts of joy and singing.”

Do you know why it is called a “sacrifice of thanksgiving”? Because in the natural you will not feel like being thankful. When you look at yourself and all that you are walking through, all that you are experiencing, all that you are seeing in the world and in your world…it is difficult to be thankful. I implore you, shout thanksgiving to God!! Yes, it will be a sacrifice. But the fruit of the sacrifice of thanking God is experiencing His joy, His peace that surpasses understanding!! The sacrifice to our God is worth it!! He is worth it!!

1 Cor 15:57 says, “But thanks be to God who gives us the victory! (making us conquerors) through our Lord Jesus Christ.”

We know Who holds tomorrow in His Hands. For the Lord is good. His mercy and loving-kindness are everlasting. His love endures forever!

Philippians 4:6 says, “Do not have anxiety about anything, but in everything by prayer and petition with THANKSGIVING present your requests to God, and the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.”

So, my precious friend, let’s pray and thank God together today!

“Dear Heavenly Father, everything I face today I cast at your feet. Thank you, ABBA, Father for Your Goodness, your Faithfulness and Your Love for us. Thank you for being my Savior, my Deliverer, my Anchor, my Strong Tower, My Defender in battle. Thank you for being my Peace, my Healer, My Sustainer. You are my Everything. I thank you and I praise You for never leaving or forsaking me. I thank you for loving and caring for me when I could not love and care for myself. You are the very Breath I breathe. I worship You in Spirit and in Truth. Thank you for life, health and strength. Thank you that ALL Power is in Your Hands. I love You and I thank you today, In Jesus Name!”
