What a way to close out a month of thanksgiving. Thank you for taking this journey with me and for those who shared their thankfulness, thank you for those blessings.
I hope you will continue to bring glory and praise to God through thanksgiving everyday of your life.

Continue on with a thankful heart. It will be great practice for eternity, worshipping our God.

Let them also offer sacrifices of thanksgiving, And tell of His works with joyful singing.
Psalms‬ ‭107:22‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.107.22.NASB1995

‭‭Sacrifice is something you treasure but, for the sake of God, you are willing to give it to Him freely and with thanksgiving. What sacrifice are you willing to bring to the Lord God? Can you bring that sacrifice with thanksgiving? 

Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship.
Romans‬ ‭12:1‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father.
Colossians‬ ‭3:17‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/col.3.17.NASB1995

You are, because God created you. He created you for a purpose. To know God, to serve Him, to glorify Him in word and deed with a thankful heart. A  thankful heart makes for a successful purpose. Thankful for God in you, moving you to do His work, to bring about His plan for humanity.

Are you thankful for God’s work and purpose through you to bring about His way, His truth, His life to a dying world?
‭‭
Whoever speaks, is to do so as one who is speaking the utterances of God; whoever serves is to do so as one who is serving by the strength which God supplies; so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belongs the glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
1 Peter‬ ‭4:11‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice!
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
Philippians‬ ‭4:4, 6‭ NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/php.4.4.NASB1995

Could praying with thanksgiving be a testimony to faith in God? Praying with thanksgiving is trusting God with the outcome of your supplication, your request before it is answered.
What happens when you leave the request at the altar and trust God for the outcome?

And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Philippians‬ ‭4:7‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/php.4.7.NASB1995

🌹Have a peaceful day, believing and  trusting with thanksgiving.

It is good to give thanks to the Lord And to sing praises to Your name, O Most High;
To declare Your lovingkindness in the morning And Your faithfulness by night,
Psalms‬ ‭92:1‭-‬2 ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.92.1.NASB1995

God is a 24 hour God. He is always available. When we walk with God, we walk morning and night. We are His to be used by 24 hours a day. How many blessings and His glory do we miss because we are caught up in our own ways instead of His way. It is good to give thanks to the Lord all day long and sing, even if it is not verbally. Then you will see His lovingkindness and declare it!

‭‭Praise the Lord! For it is good to sing praises to our God; For it is pleasant and praise is becoming.
Psalms‬ ‭147:1‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.147.1.NASB1995

‭‭Praise the Lord, for the Lord is good; Sing praises to His name, for it is lovely.
Psalms‬ ‭135:3‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.135.3.NASB1995

‭‭🌹But as for me, I shall sing of Your strength; Yes, I shall joyfully sing of Your lovingkindness in the morning, For You have been my stronghold And a refuge in the day of my distress.
Psalms‬ ‭59:16‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.59.16.NASB1995

‭‭🌹I will sing of the lovingkindness of the Lord forever; To all generations I will make known Your faithfulness with my mouth.
Psalms‬ ‭89:1‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

Praise the Lord! I will give thanks to the Lord with all my heart, In the company of the upright and in the assembly.
Psalms‬ ‭111:1‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.111.1.NASB1995

As families gather together today to give thanks around a feast laid before them, let us be thankful for the provision God provided for us.

‭‭I will give You thanks with all my heart; I will sing praises to You before the gods.
Psalms‬ ‭138:1‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.138.1.NASB1995

‭‭Thank and praise the God above all gods. The God of our salvation. The God who loves us so much that He shed His own blood. The God of forgiveness. The God of reconciliation. The God who blessed us with family and friends to share this occasion with.

Thank you, God!

A God greatly feared in the council of the holy ones, And awesome above all those who are around Him?
Psalms‬ ‭89:7‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.89.7.NASB1995

‭‭🌹Praise the Lord! Sing to the Lord a new song, And His praise in the congregation of the godly ones.

O Lord, You have searched me and known me.
You know when I sit down and when I rise up; You understand my thought from afar.
You scrutinize my path and my lying down, And are intimately acquainted with all my ways.
Even before there is a word on my tongue, Behold, O Lord, You know it all. You have enclosed me behind and before, And laid Your hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; It is too high, I cannot attain to it.
Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? Psalms‬ ‭139:1‭-‬7‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.139.1.NASB1995

I thank God that He knows me intimately.
He knows I love watching the sky, His creation.
God knows I don’t like driving at night so He gave me a beautiful sunset to guide me on a 5 hour trip home. The magnificence of the sunset lasted about 2 hours, every few minutes the patterns and colors changing. Colors ranging from calming grays to different hues of blues turning into a massive fiery sky to a low light white glow. The patterns in the sky made by the clouds were constantly changing, reshaping the sky into a fabulous wonder. The magnificent slendor displayed before me had me praising God, thanking Him for loving me so much He lit up the sky for me.

I made it home safely with a white light glow still glowing. God is amazing, and I am so blessed that He knows me and loves me enough to give a sunset to guide me safely home.
‭‭
🌹I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Your works, And my soul knows it very well. Psalms‬ ‭139:14‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

Precious in the sight of the Lord Is the death of His godly ones.
Psalms‬ ‭116:15‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.116.15.NASB1995

‭‭Why do you suppose God would consider the death of His godly ones as precious?

Does God not rejoice at the salvation of His children, His creation?

He will rescue (redeem) their life (soul) from oppression and violence, And their blood will be precious in his sight;
Psalms‬ ‭72:14‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.72.14.NASB1995

‭‭Even though we have received God’s redemption and our eternity from oppression and violence, we still face oppression and violence this side of heaven. But . . . One day when our mortal bodies are no more, we will receive full all God has promised to His own. How precious in the sight of God, is the death of His godly ones.

I’m saddened by those who die without Jesus. What a contrast when compared to the death of a godly saint who believed and trusted God. I am very thankful to God for the ability to rejoice at a believer’s celebration of life because they continue to live. Oh how precious.

Dedicated to Joyce and Noel.
