Revelation 11:17

With all of the chaos on the world today, I find myself crying out, “Maranatha!” Come Lord Jesus! And He is coming. The world is going to go through a tribulation like never before seen, and the entire earth will, “be filled with the knowledge of the Lord as the water covers the sea.” (Is. 11:9) Soon the Lord will come to sit on His throne in Jerusalem and begin His perfect reign. Oh how we will give thanks in that hour for our King who will uphold and establish His kingdom with justice and righteousness forever!

1 Thessalonians 5:18

It’s easy to thank God during the good times, but what about the bad? Although trials are never easy, God wants us to be able to find gratitude in each tribulation we face. But how do we thank Him when it feels as though our tears will never dry, our hearts will never heal, and our circumstance will never change? On our own it’s impossible. But in the strength of Jesus, the impossible becomes possible. When we walk with the Lord and lay all things at His feet, we can not only thank God in all things, we can also experience the peace and joy of knowing everything is in the perfect hands of God who loves us most!

November 3rd – Colossians 4:2

Colossians 4:2

Paul tells us to dedicate ourselves to prayer. Why? Because prayer is our direct line of communication with God. Through prayer we talk with God, give to Him the desires and sorrows of our hearts, lift up others and their needs, confess our sins, and thank Him for our blessings. Prayer is a gift from God. And the more we pray, the closer to God we grow and the stronger our relationship with Him becomes. So pray. Tell God what is in your heart and mind. He’s always listening!

Psalm 9:1

Have you ever taken the time to thank God? I mean really thank God? Each night as part of my nightly prayer, I would absentmindedly thank Him for the blessings of the day. And far from being sincere, my gratefulness had become nothing more than routine. But when I truly understood that from the moment I wake, until I go to sleep at night, and each moment in between, is a beautiful blessing from God, my heart overflowed with thankfulness. For each day is truly a gift from above.

I Chronicles 16:34

What does it mean that God is good? It means that He is as pure as light in which no evil can be found. It means He always does what is right. And it means that He is honest, faithful, and true; even when we are not. Oh how very thankful I am that God is good. For it is from that goodness which flows His never ending perfect love. A love He freely offers to all, a love unmerited, and a love that blows all others away. For so strong is God’s love for us, He gave His only Son to redeem us. And that is everything to be thankful for.

Ephesians 1:18

Gratitude is important. God wants us to be thankful everyday for the blessings that He so freely gives us. But you know what else is important? Joy. God also wants us to feel the joy that comes with His blessings. Joy from knowing that our Father in heaven, through His unmerited love, sent His Son to die so that we can live. God calls us beloved, righteous, and His. He blesses us abundantly not because He has to, but because He wants to. And knowing this, should light up our hearts with great joy!

John 1:4

Jesus is life. He is the Fountain of life, the Sustainer of life, and the Source of life. And because of His great love for both us and the Father, He willingly left His place at the right hand of God to pay our sin debt with His precious blood. With His death and resurrection, Jesus forever conquered death and darkness. And when we receive Him into our hearts as our Savior, He gathers us into His life giving light. Never again will we be in darkness, for when Christ calls us His own, He shines brightly upon us for all eternity.

1 John 1:7

There’s nothing better than standing in the light of the sun, and feeling the warmth of its rays upon our skin. But beyond the warmth, it also produces valuable Vitamin D that our bodies need to function. As Christians there’s nothing better than standing in the light of the Lord and feeling the warmth of His love and grace. When we walk in obedience to God, the fellowship we experience with Him and fellow believers nourishes our soul. And through the precious blood of Jesus, we are healed of our sins.

Luke 12:2

Throughout the New Testament Jesus warns of the hypocrisy of the Pharisees. They were big on talking the talk, but not walking the walk. They hid behind masks of righteousness while living lives of sin. They became detestable to the Lord, for the hypocrisy of their words and actions caused others to turn away from the faith. But Jesus warns that no one can hide from God. He sees behind the mask. And everything once concealed will be one day be laid bare by His revealing light.

Psalm 80:17

Israel was being threatened by the Assyrian army, and needed rescuing. They pleaded with God to save them by shining His face upon them once again. After facing the consequences of their rebellion against God, the Israelites were in desperate need of restoration. Restoration is “the action of returning something to a former owner, place, or condition.” Like Israel we all can lose our way and find ourselves separated from God. But also like Israel, when we confess, repent, and obey, God is faithful to restore us back to Him, wipe the slate clean, and remember our sin no more.
