November 16th – Psalm 44:8

Psalm 44:8

When someone asks me about my faith, my heart practically bursts at the seams with joy. I can’t wait to tell them of all the ways God works in my life. Whether it be His love, grace, protection, discipline, or healing, God’s hand is everywhere I look. My heart can’t help but brag of the wonderful things the Lord has and continues to do each day for me. And although my spiritual walk is is somedays one step forward two steps back, I will forever praise God for His faithfulness and mercy!

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!

November 12th – 1 Timothy 4:4

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.

November 11th – Psalm 107:8

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!

November 9th – Psalm 28:7

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.

November 6th – 2 Corinthians 9:15

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!

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!

November 1st – I Chronicles 16:34

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.

October 31 – Ephesians 1:18

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!
