30 Days of Thanks – D27

Nov27

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

🌹Let us be thankful that God desires us to participate with Him in His redemptive plan.

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

God Is Awesome!

Oct20

Sing to the Lord a new song; Sing to the Lord, all the earth.
Sing to the Lord, bless His name; Proclaim good tidings of His salvation from day to day.
Tell of His glory among the nations, His wonderful deeds among all the peoples.
For great is the Lord and greatly to be praised; He is to be feared above all gods.
For all the gods of the peoples are idols, But the Lord made the heavens.
Splendor and majesty are before Him, Strength and beauty are in His sanctuary.
Psalms‬ ‭96:1‭-‬6‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

Temple Dwelling

Oct6

Okay, I could be stretching this a bit but. . .
Are we who confess Jesus as the risen Messiah, the temple of the Holy Spirit? Is not the Holy Spirit God?

Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own?
1 Corinthians 6:19 NASB

We have the glory of God residing in us and yet we walk around with glum faces, walking as if we are lost, stressed to the max . . . need I go on?

If this is our demeanor then we should ask, as David did:

One thing I have asked from the Lord, that I shall seek: That I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, To behold the beauty (delightfulness) of the Lord And to meditate (inquire) in His temple.
Psalms 27:4 NASB

With salvation comes our eternal abiding with our God. Are we seeking to dwell with the Lord in our very being? Do we delight in the Lord God and seek the Word as we meditate on the word?

For you have been bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body.
1 Corinthians 6:20 NASB

🌹O Lord, I love the habitation of Your house And the place where Your glory dwells.
Psalms 26:8 NASB

God bless your day and weekend!

We Pray

Aug25

Why do we pray?

We pray for others that they maybe filled with the knowledge of God’s will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,
Colossians 1:9 NASB
We pray to be transformed through God’s righteous judgment so that we will be considered worthy of the kingdom of God.
2 Thessalonians 1:5 NASB
And we pray that Jesus will be glorified in and through us according to the grace given us through Jesus.
2 Thessalonians 1:12 NASB

We pray so God will be forefront in our mind, heart, soul, and walk. We pray so we can see His will be done.

🌹To this end also we pray for you always, that our God will count you worthy of your calling, and fulfill every desire for goodness and the work of faith with power, so that the name of our Lord Jesus will be glorified in you, and you in Him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
2 Thessalonians 1:11‭-‬12 NASB

Shelter

Jul13

On God my salvation and my glory rest; The rock of my strength, my refuge is in God.
Psalms 62:7 NASB

The Lord gives grace and glory. He is our shelter where we can run and feel safe. He is our rock of strength to face the trials, hurts, stress, tribulations, sufferings of this world. On God alone our salvation and glory rest.

Where, or should I say, Who do you run to in these times?

🌹For the Lord God is a sun and shield; The Lord gives grace and glory; No good thing does He withhold from those who walk uprightly.
Psalms 84:11 NASB

Continually Seeking Him,

Show Me Your Glory!

Jun2

Then Moses said, “I pray You, show me Your glory!”
Exodus 33:18 NASB

One of my all time favorite verses. Show me Your glory, Lord God! Moses saw a glimpse of God’s glory. I’m looking forward to the day when I will see the full glory of my Lord face to face.

But can we see God’s glory, a glimpse, today? In this day and age? I believe we can.

He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, ‘From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.’ ” But this He spoke of the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were to receive; for the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.
John 7:38-39 NASB

The rivers of living water is the Holy Spirit working in the believer, the child of God. The work of the Holy Spirit through the believer allows the believer to see the glory of God.
God shows His glory through answered prayer, or the Sonshine in the midst of the storm, or the light of salvation in the eye of a new believer or the healing of  physical or emotional hurt. . . The list goes on. How long has it been since you saw the glory of God? When was the last time, if ever, did you pray to God asking, “Show me your glory”?

🌹“I pray You, show me Your glory!” Amen.

Continually Seeking Him,

Sharon

Glorify God

Jan3

For you have been bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body.
1 Corinthians 6:20 NASB

God, how do I glorify You in my body? By Your mercies I present my body a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to You, which is my spiritual service of worship. I pray that I will not be put to shame in anything, but that with all boldness, Jesus Christ will be exalted in my body. This is my earnest expectation and hope. I pray You will keep me from presenting the members of my body to sin as instruments of unrighteousness; but help me to present myself to You, God, as alive from the dead, and my members as instruments of righteousness to You. Glory to Your name I pray, amen.
Romans 12:1/Philippians 1:20/Romans 6:13 NASB

🌹Through Him then, let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that give thanks to His name.
Hebrews 13:15 NASB

Continually Seeking Him,

Sharon
