With Joyful Thanksgiving

Nov24

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.
For the Lord is a great God And a great King above all gods, In whose hand are the depths of the earth, The peaks of the mountains are His also. The sea is His, for it was He who made it, And His hands formed the dry land.
Come, let us worship and bow down, Let us kneel before the Lord our Maker.
Psalms 95:1-6 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.95.1-6.NASB1995

My hope is that you will find joy this Thanksgiving week as you gather with family, friends, your church, or anywhere you gather. From small gatherings to big gatherings take time to look over the past year and see where God has cared for you, protected you, led you, and well, blessed you. Thank God and worship Him for His abounding steadfast love; His abundant grace; His provision through all situations of life. What a Mighty and Awesome God He is!

🌹“Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace among men with whom He is pleased.

Rejoice Always

Nov11

Rejoice always;
1 Thessalonians 5:16 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/1th.5.16.NASB1995

Rejoice: to be glad; take delight “in”

Rejoice . . .
. over the goodness of God – Exodus 18:9
. before the Lord your God in all your undertakings – Deuteronomy 12:18
. in your undertakings in which the Lord has blessed you – Deuteronomy 12:7
. in God’s salvation – 1 Samuel 2:1
. because the Lord reigns – 1 Chronicles 16:31; Psalm 97:1
. all day in the name of the Lord – Psalm 89:16

Do you take time regularly to delight in the Lord? Has rejoicing in the Lord become a habit in your life?

I have found in my own life that my days go better when I am focused on rejoicing in the Lord. I can find the good in my day. I see where God is at work in me and through me when my heart is set on rejoicing in Him. I can delight in Him as I travel through my day because He opens my eyes to see things that make my heart rejoice in my God. I shall always make it a habit to look to God each day seeking to have Him reveal in my heart something to rejoice in Him.

Rejoice in the day the Lord has made – Psalm 128:24

🌹Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice!

God Alone, No Other

Sep15

You alone are the Lord.
You have made the heavens,
The heaven of heavens with all their host,
The earth and all that is on it,
The seas and all that is in them.
You give life to all of them
And the heavenly host bows down before You.
Nehemiah 9:6 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/neh.9.6.NASB1995

For by Him (Jesus) all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things have been created through Him and for Him.
He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.
He is also head of the body, the church; and He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that He Himself will come to have first place in everything.
Colossians 1:16-18 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/col.1.16-18.NASB1995

Obedience is Greater

Mar25

One of the scribes came and heard them arguing, and recognizing that He (Jesus) had answered them well, asked Him, “What commandment is the foremost of all?”
Jesus answered, “The foremost is, ‘Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is one Lord;

and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.’
The second is this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”

The scribe said to Him, “Right, Teacher; You have truly stated that He is One, and there is no one else besides Him; and to love Him with all the heart and with all the understanding and with all the strength, and to love one’s neighbor as himself, is much more than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.”
Mark 12:28-33 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/mrk.12.28-34.NASB1995

Obedience to God’s commandments is greater than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.

🌹. . . “Has the Lord as much delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices As in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, And to heed than the fat of rams.
