Meditate.
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
For what should we be thankful? This may
seem like a time that you don’t feel thankful. Things may not be turning out
the way you expected…politically or emotionally with the COVID-19 situation. It
may seem counterintuitive to give thanks for things you didn’t expect…but look
for the good and give thanks. But be thankful for all that God has done for
you. God answers prayers…tell Him what you need and thank Him.
Don't worry about anything; instead, pray
about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Philippians
4:6
We
are always thankful that God chose you to be among the first to experience
salvation…. This is the time of
year to give thanks and what better
thing to give thanks than for the people you about. This scripture gives us a
clue that we need to be thankful to God for those He chose to save. Sure, He chose the Israelites to be His chosen
people…but then He chose from among the Gentiles, too.
In this new life, it doesn't matter if you
are a Jew or a Gentile, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbaric, uncivilized,
slave, or free. Christ is all that matters, and he lives in all of us. Colossians
3:11
New Life...like the Butterfly.
It doesn't matter if you are Jew or Gentile.
Welcome to the family of God.
Christ is all that matters. He is still on His throne in Heaven. He is still King of Kings and Lord of Lords. And best yet, He lives within the hearts of anyone who believes in Him as their Savior. He gave His life, allowed His blood to be shed on a cross for sins…yours and mine. Now that is something for which to be thankful. Can you give thanks with a grateful heart for Christ?
Prayer ~ Thank You, Lord Jesus for taking our place on the cross. You were sinless…but like all humans, we sinned. Romans 3:23. I believe that You are the Son of God and I declare that You are my Savior. From Romans 10:9-10.
Verse
of Salvation ~ But
giving thanks is a sacrifice that truly honors me. If you keep to my path, I
will reveal to you the salvation of God." Psalm 50:23
