Give Thanks!
I am so glad for my salvation and my family. Where He took me from where I was once lost to where I am today, saved! Today’s verses tell us of the joy and thanksgiving with which we should serve the Lord for all He has done for us. I don’t know where I would have landed in life and thank Him for saving us all. My dad used to say, “it’s a great life if you don’t weaken,” amen dad; it is so true. Life is hard, but I learned through those times to look up and praise the Lord because He is still on His throne and has it all under control. Just learn to lean on Jesus and He will carry you through.
When my son was younger, he got hurt in school and dislocated both knees. I had no money for him to be operated on. I went to the school for them to pay for it, but they would not pay. It was hard, at one point they cursed me and threw me out of their office: it is sad how some grownups behave. I prayed for Jesus to show me what to do. He said go back to the school and talk to them again. I had to stand my ground with them, and they finally paid for two knee operations! If it was not for Jesus' guidance I would have not stood against the school. I give my Heavenly Father all the glory because I know where I was and where I am now, happy!
Psalm 100:1-5
1-Make a joyful shout to the Lord, all you lands!
2-Serve the Lord with gladness; Come before His presence with singing.
3-Know that the Lord, He is God; It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.
4-Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.
5-For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting. And His truth endures to all generations.
