Reading Psalms 103 -107
My Verse: "Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good,
for his steadfast love endures forever" (107:1)!
It is so much easier to complain, to see all that is wrong in one's life. Oh, LORD God, I pray for help in this area. I pray that You will help me to count my blessings! Help me each day to start off thanking You for all that You have done for me and will do for me!
I heard a wonderful sermon on thankfulness some time ago. I entered this note in the back of my Bible. "A thankful heart is a guard against deception." I believe this. I was always so fearful of being deceived! If I started to doubt I would remember this admonition and start recalling all that I had to thank You, LORD God for. Thank you for that. Thank You for that sermon and this reminder of how to guard against deception.
Being thankful keeps me from being overwhelmed by anxiety. "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God" (Philippians 4:6). It is so wonderful how You take my eyes off myself, off my immediate problems and the anxiety lessens and melts away.
You, LORD God, tell us throughout Scripture to be thankful.
"Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you" (I Thessalonians 5:18).
"Giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ" (Ephesians 5:20).
"Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him; bless his name" (Psalm 100:4)!
You desire for me to be thankful to You for all things, at all times! You desire this because You know that is what is best for me. Being thankful makes me a better person!
It is pretty wonderful that we have a holiday - Thanksgiving. It is a time when families gather together to remember and be thankful. Yes, there are many things not right in our society today but we also have so very much to be thankful for! I pray for the citizens of our country today to look at all that is good and to realize that all that is good is because of You! That kind of focus changes us as a country!
How we need to daily pause in our very busy lives to meditate on what we have to be thankful for! Help me do that today!
Ditat Deus - God Enriches!
