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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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!!

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.

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.
