Meditate on God and be Thankful.
Imitate God, therefore, in everything you do, because you are his dear children. Live a life filled with love, following the example of Christ. He loved us and offered himself as a sacrifice for us, a pleasing aroma to God. Let there be no sexual immorality, impurity, or greed among you. Such sins have no place among God's people. Obscene stories, foolish talk, and coarse jokes--these are not for you. Instead, let there be thankfulness to God. You can be sure that no immoral, impure, or greedy person will inherit the Kingdom of Christ and of God. For a greedy person is an idolater, worshiping the things of this world. Don't be fooled by those who try to excuse these sins, for the anger of God will fall on all who disobey him. Don't participate in the things these people do. For once you were full of darkness, but now you have light from the Lord. So live as people of light! For this light within you produces only what is good and right and true. Carefully determine what pleases the Lord. Take no part in the worthless deeds of evil and darkness; instead, expose them. Ephesians 5:1-11
Start off the month of November by being Thankful… let there be thankfulness to God. Traditionally, since Thanksgiving happens in November it is common to offer up thankfulness each day for one thing.
Like the song… “Come Ye Thankful People, Come,”
we don’t have to wait for Thanksgiving to be thankful.
Thankful for Jesus and the Cross.
Thankful for the Fruit of the Spirit.
Thankful for Live and Love.
For what are you thankful?
Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts,
to which indeed you were called in one body; and be thankful. Colossians
3:15
O give thanks to the LORD, for He is good;
For His lovingkindness is everlasting. Chronicles 16:34
Be thankful. We are admonished—advised—over
and over to be thankful. For what are
you thankful?
Prayer ~ Give thanks to the LORD and proclaim his greatness. Let the whole world know what he has done. - 1 Chronicles 16:8. You are an awesome God and I humbly thank you for everything.
Verse
of Salvation ~ As for us, we can't help but thank God for you, dear brothers
and sisters loved by the Lord. We are always thankful that God chose you to be
among the first to experience salvation--a salvation that came through the Spirit
who makes you holy and through your belief in the truth. 2 Thessalonians
2:13
