We All Have a Reason To Give God Thanks


Thank the LORD because he is good. His love continues forever.That is what those whom the LORD has saved should say. He has saved them from the enemy, Some people had wandered in the desert lands. They found no city in which to live. They were hungry and thirsty,and they were discouraged.
In their misery they cried out to the LORD,and he saved them from their troubles. He led them on a straight road to a city where they could live. Let them give thanks to the LORD for his love and for the miracles he does for people. He satisfies the thirsty and fills up the hungry. God gave the command and healed them, so they were saved from dying. Let them give thanks to the LORD for his love and for the miracles he does for people. Let them offer sacrifices to thank him. With joy they should tell what he has done. Let them praise his greatness in the meeting of the people;
Whoever is wise will remember these things and will think about the love of the LORD.
Psalms 107 NCV

We all have a reason to tell God thank you for He has been good to us. He has preserved our lives and rescued us from every trying circumstance. He is a redeemer who proves His love to His people everday. In every struggle of survival God was there never leaving us alone.

We want to thank God for always being a present help in the time of trouble. Especially the trouble we find ourselves in due to disobedience and bad choices. God in His mercy still comes in every dark place in our lives, reaches His hand in our mess and lifts us up out of our distress, for that we have a reason to say thank you. We want to thank God for every storm, for every storm is a call for prayer, the power of prayer will force the door open to peace and for this we tell God thank you.

God has kept us through the recession, calamity followed by trouble, in the desert He kept us, in the darkness He was there, in distress He preserved our sanity, in sickness He saved us from death. So because of His love and His mercy in every circumstance we may experience in life, we have a reason to say Thank You! Don't thank God its Friday, thank Him for all the great and wonderful things that He has done.


I want to thank God for a wonderful week of sharing with you. I hope and pray that you are enjoying this site and the things God has allowed me to share. But I would like to share one more important matter with those of you who may not know Christ as their personal Lord and Savior. Jesus Christ loves you, He proved His love by dying on the cross for everyone of us. For God so loved the world that He gave Hs only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him would not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16
The Lord offered Himself on your behalf.
Seek the Lord for a new life in Him today! (Please leave a message if you would like to make Christ Lord of your life.) God Bless

  1. My Pastor taught me that "Grace" is God giving us what we don't deserve and "Mercy" is God not giving us what we do deserve. Take the time today and think of all the blessings God gave you that you know you shouldn't have had. Then think of all the punishments that passed over you that you know you should be paying for this very moment. I'm sure one thought will lead you to another and then another and so on. THE LORD IS GOOD AND HE IS WORTHY OF OUR PRAISE!!

Bursting Out Of It!

S.E.E.D. For Today:  Scripture: "Is this not the the fast which I have chosen: Loosen the bonds of wickedness." ( Isaiah 58:6 ) Explanation: There should be the right motive when we fast. The people of God in Isaiah observed but there was no change in them. When fasting we do not want to look at it as a religious ritual, but a means to transformation. The fruit of repentance ought to be evident in relationship with one another and our neighbor. If we fast and persist in arrogance, stubbornness, fighting and strife then we are only doing this out of routine. Exercise: Prayer is important to experience the grace and power of God when fasting. Without the consistency of prayer we will not see breakthrough. God is challenging us to do the fast He has chosen, the first means of business is releasing or loosing the bonds of wickedness. Whatever besets itself and entangles you again under the same slave system of missing the mark with God has to let you go. I challenge you

UN-DO!

S.E.E.D. For Today: Scripture: "Undo The Heavy Burdens" ( Isaiah 58:6 ) Example: There was a great deal of injustice in the land and with the rich exploiting the poor and the rulers using their authority only to make themselves richer. It was a conflict between truth and lies, just like in our land today. The people of God were no different in operating under the same system as this. But God called them out and wanted them to understand that their fasting was in vain if they did not undo the heavy burden they placed on others while still outwardly devoting themselves to religion or as they thought to God. Exercise: Let's invite the Holy Spirit to solve problems and aid us in lifting loads and overcome barriers that keep us and our loved ones from walking joyfully in the Lord. In self-denying love and care for others, let's undo any heavy burden or untie any yoke that we may have placed upon friends, family, associates or even employees. Devotion: Lord toda
