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.
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
Meditate.
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.JPG)
New Life in a Butterfly - like God's plan.
Christ is all that matters.
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?
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
