Timothy 2:1-4 "I
urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made
for everyone—for
kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all
godliness and holiness. This
is good, and pleases GOD
our SAVIOR,
who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth."
Thanksgiving is not just a
day or weekend once a year in the life of a Believer in JESUS.
Not at all! Everyone of us has so many reasons to be thankful to GOD.
Everyday we wake up we offer Him
thanks for the blessings of life that He
has so freely given us.
Years ago a friend of mine told me that
they had gotten into the habit of writing down a list of all the reasons they had to daily
thank GOD. They read
to me their current list and I thought to myself that they were never going to reach the
end of that list. At first I thought to myself that their list was too long, that
they had become a bit too fanatic somewhere along the way. The more I thought about
their list, I began to see that I had lots of things to write down myself.
By the time I finished writing down all the reasons I had to be thankful to GOD
for things such as family, a place to live, food and clothes for my children, good health
for everyone and the knowledge that He
was with all of us, all the time, I was just like my friend. I now know that it is
impossible to thank the LORD
too much or too often.
Join with me today, with an open heart before GOD,
as we bring forth our requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving to GOD
our SAVIOR. open
