Psalm 100:4

When the Israelites entered the gates to the temple of God, they sang joyful songs of praise and thankfulness. The gratitude they felt from belonging to the Lord, filled their hearts with gladness. Now, because of Jesus, God’s temple is open to all. And we too can enter His gates with thanksgiving, and His courts with praise. The Lord is our Shepherd, and we will join the Jewish people in singing a joyful song and serving Him with gladness. Praise and worship the Lord for His goodness, lovingkindness, and everlasting faithfulness!

2 Corinthians 9:12

The Bible makes it very clear that God blesses us to bless others. Christians should consider it a gift to be able to help meet the needs of those around us. For once we were destitute in spirit, dead in sin, and separated from God. But through the blood of Jesus, we are now reconciled to the Father, washed clean, and called His own. And out of overflowing hearts of thankfulness for the Lord’s sacrifice and His many blessings, we should be eager and joyful to demonstrate Christ’s love for us to others.

Zephaniah 3:17

How amazing is it that Almighty God, Maker all things, created each one of us! And even more amazing, it wasn’t because God is in need of anything or anyone, but instead He created us because He wants us. God gave everything to call us His own. And when we His children receive His free gift of salvation, He not only rejoices with shouts of joy, but promises to brings peace to our hearts and shelter us under His mighty wings. Thanks be to God for His great and everlasting love!

1 Timothy 4:4

Awhile back a friend of mine, who knows a bit about the Bible yet practices another faith, asked me about the book of Leviticus. He didn’t understand why I, as a Christian, didn’t follow the book’s rules forbidding certain foods. I explained that once we were under the Law, but now through the victory of Jesus, we are under grace. Through His death, Christ gave us the freedom to enjoy all of God’s blessings, including food and marriage. All He asks is that we receive His gifts with hearts of thanksgiving and gratitude.

Psalm 107:8

How wonderful is our God! He truly is our Father! As His beloved children, God provides and cares for our every need. And not just our physical needs, but also our heart and soul. He gives us nourishment, refreshment, healing, and guidance. From the great to the small, God cares about every area of our lives. And just like He rescued and made Israel His own, God longs to do the same for us and, “supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.” (Phil. 4:19) Oh how thankful I am for His love and to Him goes the glory forever and ever!

Colossians 3:15

The current division, anger, and confusion surrounding the presidential election are par for the course in this year of 2020. And if there’s one word that can’t be used to describe these past months, it’s definitely peaceful. Yet no matter the discord surrounding us, as members of the body of Christ, we can find peace in a world that is anything but. For when we surrender our lives to Jesus, and lay our worries at His feet, the Lord washes away the fear and worry in our hearts, flooding it with His peace, and love. Thank you Jesus for Your calming grace.

Psalm 28:7

Did you know that singing not only can boost your mood, but also alleviate anxiety and stress? David knew all about anxiety. Constantly chased by his enemies and a king who wanted him dead, the book of Psalms is filled with the cries of David for deliverance. But even when it seemed hopeless, he never gave up, never gave in to despair. Instead David remembered the promises of his Father in heaven, and trusted in His goodness. And from a heart filled with joy, sang songs of praise to God for His love and faithfulness.

Hebrews 13:15

Do you ever wonder what it means to offer up a “sacrifice of praise” to Jesus? When it comes to praise, it’s easy to rejoice and give thanks to God when we get what we want. But what about when we don’t? Do we still thank Him when His answer to prayer is no? Do we rejoice when we see another’s blessing while waiting on our own? To offer up a sacrifice of praise means, despite disappointment, to have a heart filled with gratitude and lips which speak words of thankfulness for the goodness, grace, and love of God.

Psalm 30:11

Afflictions and suffering are part of living in a fallen world. And even though we may not understand why we go through the hardships we do, we can absolutely trust in our Father. For God promises to make, “all things to work together for good”. (Rom. 8:28) And we can rejoice in knowing that the storms in our life are under God’s control and will only last as long as He commands. Better still, when we come out the other side, our mourning will be turned into dancing, and our sorrow into gladness!

2 Corinthians 9:15

The best gifts are those that come from the heart. And there’s no better gift we could ever receive, than the one God offers to each of us. Once we were separated from God because of sin. But out of His great love He sent His only Son, Jesus Christ, to purchase our pardon through His shed blood and resurrection. Imagine that! God loves us so much, that He sacrificed His Son to reconcile us back to Him. And through that sacrifice the Lord offers us the gift of salvation, and a eternity spent in paradise at the side of the Master!
