30 Days of Thanks – D20

Nov20

You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; You have loosed my sackcloth and girded me with gladness, That mysoul (glory) may sing praise to You and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks to You forever.
Psalms‬ ‭30:11‭-‬12‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.30.11.NASB1995

Life is full of many experiences of weeping and times of laughter; times of mourning and times of rejoicing*. Who do you share these experiences with? Jesus is always available to share our sorrows and struggles with, as well as the joys of our lives. He’s waiting to bless. We just need to surrender. Then we are free to celebrate His goodness with praise, glory and thanksgiving.
‭‭
You have put gladness in my heart,
Psalms‬ ‭4:7‬a ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.4.7.NASB1995

Therefore my heart is glad and my glory rejoices; My flesh also will dwell securely.
Psalms‬ ‭16:9‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

My heart is steadfast, O God; I will sing, I will sing praises, even with my soul.

Oh give thanks to the Lord, call upon His name; Make known His deeds among the peoples. Sing to Him, sing praises to Him; Speak of all His wonders. Glory in His holy name; Let the heart of those who seek the Lord be glad. Seek the Lord and His strength; Seek His face continually. Remember His wonders which He has done, His marvels and the judgments uttered by His mouth,
Psalms‬ ‭105:1‭-‬5‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.105.1.NASB1995

Have a blessed day of worship as you: give thanks, calling upon the Lord;
share testimony of His work in you, through you and around you;
sing praises to Him and glory in His name;
feast on His word remembering His wonder, marvel, and judgments.
Seek His strength for the new week,
Seek His face continually.

🌹That’s what I would call church.

Have a thankful week serving God.

Let them give thanks to the Lord for His lovingkindness, And for His wonders to the sons of men!
For He has satisfied the thirsty soul, And the hungry soul He has filled with what is good.
There were those who dwelt in darkness and in the shadow of death, Prisoners in misery and chains, Because they had rebelled against the words of God And spurned the counsel of the Most High. Therefore He humbled their heart with labor; They stumbled and there was none to help. Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble; He saved them out of their distresses. He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death And broke their bands apart.
Psalms‬ ‭107:8‭-‬14‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.107.8.NASB1995

Thank You, Lord, for satisfying my thirsty soul and filling my hungry soul with what is good!! Humble my soul, Lord. You have removed my chains and brought me out of darkness into Your glorious light! Thank You for saving me from the shadow of death. Glory to Your name! Thank You!!

Colossians‬ ‭3:15‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/col.3.15.NASB1995

I am truly thankful for Jesus, the Prince of peace. It was prophesied in Isaiah that He would come. And indeed He did to give peace to those who believe and trust in Him.

Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful.
John‬ ‭14:27‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/jhn.14.27.NASB1995

‭‭We have nothing to fear or to be troubled about. Even in the midst of trouble all around us we can trust that God has a plan and not fear. Our God is in control. Trust  so that peace may fill your heart and mind.

These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.”
John‬ ‭16:33‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/jhn.16.33.NASB1995

‭‭Do you know Jesus, personally? Do you trust Him with your life? Have you made a confession of faith that is now your possession of faith? Does Jesus live in you? Then .  .  .

🌹‭‭the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!
2 Corinthians‬ ‭9:15‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/2co.9.15.NASB1995

But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),
and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,
‭‭so that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.
‭‭For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God;
Ephesians‬ ‭2:4‭-‬8 ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/eph.2.4.NASB1995

Jesus Christ! The gift of life given by the sacrifice of His own life. Jesus paid the price. He paid the restitution and restored our right to live, to avoid  eternal punishment that we deserve. What an indescribable gift! Thank You, God!!

How can we honor God for this gift of new life in Jesus?
‭‭
walk in love, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma.
Ephesians‬ ‭5:2‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.
Jeremiah‬ ‭29:12‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/jer.29.12.NASB1995

Prayer is the one thing I am most thankful for. Don’t get me wrong. I am thankful for the sacrifice Jesus Christ made for me. I am thankful for the Holy Spirit that resides in me. I am thankful for the daily grace bestowed upon me at the throne of grace.

But prayer . . .
Prayer puts me in the presence of God always no matter where I am. Prayer assures me that Jesus is always present. He is always available 24/7. I don’t have to rely on good reception on the mountain top or in the valley. I don’t have to worry about calling for fear of waking Him, as He is always awake. God listens with a loving, parental heart. He will humble me, guide me, protect me, love me, change me, correct me, use me to bring Him honor and glory. I will call out to God continually in prayer.

🌹I will lift up my eyes to the mountains; From where shall my help come?
My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth.
He will not allow your foot to slip; He who keeps you will not slumber.
Psalms‬ ‭121:1‭-‬3‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

The Lord is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the defense of my life; Whom shall I dread?
When evildoers came upon me to devour my flesh, My adversaries and my enemies, they stumbled and fell. Though a host encamp against me, My heart will not fear; Though war arise against me, In spite of this I shall be confident.
I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord In the land of the living.
Wait for the Lord; Be strong and let your heart take courage; Yes, wait for the Lord.
Psalms‬ ‭27:1‭-‬3‬, 13-14 ‭NASB1995‬‬
