Nov8

O come, let us sing for joy to the Lord, Let us shout joyfully to the rock of our salvation.
Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving, Let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms.
Psalms‬ ‭95:1‭-‬2‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.95.1.NASB1995

‭‭Singing joyfully echoes from the deepest parts of a thankful heart. A heart of thanks for salvation found only in Jesus Christ that makes us aware of His presence through His Holy Spirit that resides in the true believer. Yes, let us come into His presence with thanksgiving!

🌹Sing for joy to God our strength; Shout joyfully to the God of Jacob.

Thank God for the freedom to worship God publicly without restrictions!!
My hope is that if you are where you have the freedom to worship the God of all, that you do not neglect this freedom and attend a worship service today.

‭‭🌹Who is like You among the gods, O Lord? Who is like You, majestic in holiness, Awesome in praises, working wonders?
You will bring them and plant them in the mountain of Your inheritance, The place, O Lord, which You have made for Your dwelling, The sanctuary, O Lord, which Your hands have established.
The Lord shall reign forever and ever.” (Amen)

Say to wisdom, “You are my sister,” And call understanding your intimate friend;
Proverbs‬ ‭7:4‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/pro.7.4.NASB1995

I know this is out of context, but this verse brought to mind some wonderful women in my life who share their godly wisdom with me and have listening, understanding 💕 hearts. Sisters who pray for and with me.

I thank God for these sisters who have blessed my life.

Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, indeed everything that is in the heavens and the earth; Yours is the dominion, O Lord, and You exalt Yourself as head over all.
Both riches and honor come from You, and You rule over all, and in Your hand is power and might; and it lies in Your hand to make great and to strengthen everyone.
Now therefore, our God, we thank You, and praise Your glorious name.
1 Chronicles‬ ‭29:11‬-13 ‭NASB1995‬‬

‭‭‭‭Thankful for God – the Holy, glorious, powerful, victorious King of all!

in everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
1 Thessalonians‬ ‭5:18‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/1th.5.18.NASB1995

In EVERYTHING!!?!! Good days and BAD days? In trials and tribulations?
Yes, because we who are in Christ Jesus are being perfected each day. Our lives in tribulation; our hearts in the joy of the Lord! And yes because this is God’s will!

When things go awry – off the normal course, amiss – what is the typical response? Whatever the response I can guarantee that most responses will lack thankfulness.

What an awesome testimony to the confidence we have in God by being thankful. Giving thanks to our Lord God through it all. The good and the bad days of our lives.

This month of November I challenge you to make thankfulness your focus. Think of at least one thing each day of this month that you are thankful for. On November 30th look over your list and turn those thankful blessings into thankful praise to God!

🌹always giving thanks for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God, even the Father;
Ephesians‬ ‭5:20‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

P.S. Feel free to share something you are thankful for so I may praise God with you.

Attitude of Thanksgiving

Oct31

Devote yourselves to prayer, keeping alert in it with an attitude of thanksgiving;
Colossians‬ ‭4:2‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/col.4.2.NASB1995

“Pray with an attitude of thanksgiving”. . .

I’d never really thought about an attitude of prayer, except maybe as solemn, with reverence and sometimes with awe. I personally, many times, approached God with an attitude of pleading, crying, selfishness, whining, complaining, self focused prayer. Like children approach their parents in conversation.

BUT. . . Wow!!!
First of all, in prayer, we approach the throne of grace. The throne where Almighty God sits. The God who created the entire universe, and we as well. There is nothing He can’t accomplish. God will answer our prayers. If God will answer our prayers, our prays should be prayed with an attitude of thanksgiving as if we had already received.

🌹“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. Or what man is there among you who, when his son asks for a loaf, will give him a stone?
Or if he asks for a fish, he will not give him a snake, will he?
If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give what is good to those who ask Him!
Matthew‬ ‭7:7‭-‬11‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.7.7.NASB1995

🙏Pray with an attitude of thanksgiving.

Highway of Holiness

Oct30

A highway will be there, a roadway, And it will be called the Highway of Holiness. The unclean will not travel on it, But it will be for him who walks that way, And fools will not wander on it.
No lion will be there, Nor will any vicious beast go up on it; These will not be found there. But the redeemed will walk there,
And the ransomed of the Lord will return And come with joyful shouting to Zion, With everlasting joy upon their heads. They will find gladness and joy, And sorrow and sighing will flee away. Isaiah 35:8-‬10‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/isa.35.8.NASB1995

‭‭Are you walking the road of holiness?
It begins with acknowledgement and confession that you are a sinner. It continues by seeking God and walking the rest of your life in faith, trusting in the leadership and guidance of Jesus. Listening . . . for the voice of God.

Your ears will hear a word behind you, “This is the way, walk in it,” whenever you turn to the right or to the left.
Isaiah‬ ‭30:21‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/isa.30.21.NASB1995

The Word of God, the Bible, and the Holy Spirit together are the voice of direction and understanding.

Good and upright is the Lord; Therefore He instructs sinners in the way.
He leads the humble in justice, And He teaches the humble His way.
Psalms‬ ‭25:8‭-‬9‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.25.8.NASB1995

‭‭So,
“Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it.
For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.
Matthew‬ ‭7:13‭-‬14‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.7.13.NASB1995

The road of holiness is a safe road. God is your protector from the ravenous lions, wolves, and beasts of the world.

And in the end, the ransomed of the Lord will return And come with joyful shouting to Zion, With everlasting joy upon their heads. They will find gladness and joy, And sorrow and sighing will flee away. FOREVER!!!

‭‭🌹In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He will make your paths straight.
Proverbs‬ ‭3:6‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
