#REFLECTING ON "BEING THANKFUL"..
When we take time to reflect on all God has done for us, we are moved with gratitude for what he did in the past. But, we should also be encouraged to trust HIM for what we need in the present and the future.
Our Lord is "the same yesterday and today and forever" (Hebrews 13:8). Anything HE did on Tuesday, HE can ALSO do on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday!
Our culture bases happiness -- on happenings, and confuses success with significance all the time. But, God knows that "abundant living" is not dependent on anything as fleeting as today's circumstances. HE invites us to enter into HIS gates of worship and provision -- with thanksgiving (Psalm 100:4), knowing that gratitude is the gateway to a life of faith that believes, receives and rests on our Father's best for our lives!
What makes Thanksgiving difficult for you today?
What challenges are competing with your gratitude to the ONLY WISE & FAITHFUL GOD?
Remember a time in the past, when God met needs like yours, whether it was forgiving sin, healing pain, restoring relationships, or working in another transforming way. Look to Scripture, human history, or your personal experiences for examples of such grace.
Now, claim the fact that all God has done, HE can still do. Give thanks for HIS past favor and claim HIS abundant provision for ALL your present needs (Philippians 4:19).
If YOU intentionally "reflect" of all the reasons you have for being thankful, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING can steal your peace or smother your heart with dis-ease!
From My Family to Yours...
HAPPY THANKSGIVING! WS-3
