In today's environment of government taking more control...the economy taking more of a "dive", the world taking away truth; it seems that everything is just so messed up! As those in the world look at the circumstances of "life" and become overwhelmed, I believe that unless you have a personal relationship with Jesus...that all you have is the world to look at. If we look at the world too long, we can become very depressed and think to ourselves..."what have I to be thankful for?"
But for those of us who know who Jesus is and believe on His promises of a "future and a hope", we can rest in the promises of God that all will be well. I say this as we approach on a day in our nation that is centered around giving thanks. In the giving of thanks, it's from having a heart of thankfulness for what the Lord has done for us...so here's some verses of thankfulness that i pray will encourage you.
"Offer to God thanksgiving, And pay your vows to the Most High" - Psalm 50:14
"Oh, give thanks to the LORD! Call upon His name; Make known His deeds among the peoples! - Psalm 105:1
"And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful." - Colossians 3:15
"...in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." - 1 Thessalonians 5:18
"Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name." - Hebrews 13:15
I pray for a wonderful day of thanks for all of you...and that you encourage others that only because of Jesus Christ...we have much to be thankful for!
Be Blessed!
