Psalms 1:1-3. Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers. Search the Bible at BibleGateway.

Chances are we know much about the meaning of Thankfulness, but it's for sure as a nation, a people created in the image and likeness of God, very often we don't put into practice our knowledge of thankfulness. As you read this little message, think about the scripture James 1:17 "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning". Now that is powerful! The bible further says, we are not our own, we have been bought with a price, therefore glorify God in your body and in you spirit which is God's. Oh! how we are blessed. The song writer says "I am blessed, I am blessed, when I wake up in the morning till I lay my head to rest, I am blessed". The bible says we live, move, and have our being because of Him. In the Bible passage of 1 Thessalonians 5:18 we read "in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." To me a this is a very tough passage of scripture. Know that we do not thank God for sickness, sorrow, etc. However, in the midst of all challenges we face, we can thank God that He will take care of us. Let's be more thankful. Thanksgiving is more to me than a holiday, it is a Holy day. Because of His Love, I am Thankful, Pastor Durden |
