Heartfelt Gratitude

By

Good morning

Scripture reading: 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

Worship song: Thank You Lord

 


Meditation:

    Recognizing God's goodness in all circumstances empowers us to appreciate the seemingly insignificant things in life.  Very gingerly, the homeless man laid out his bedding at the side of the business place in the freezing cold. With just a thick blanket to lie on and another to cover up, he settled into his long pants and jacket, looking perfectly comfortable. A cold knot formed in my stomach at the thought of him lying in that 35-degree weather. 

    Before complaining about what you lack, appreciate what you have. Trade your complaints for gratitude, and appreciate your daily blessings for someone is wishing they had a fraction of what you have. Instead of murmuring and complaining, cultivate a mindset of gratitude, and express your appreciation through spiritual songs, praise, and adoration to the Lord. Reflect on the goodness of God, his faithfulness, grace, and the many blessings he bestowed upon you. Praise the Lord with a grateful heart, thanking Him for all things with true appreciation.

Let us pray:

    Heavenly Father, I praise You for Your faithfulness. Please take away my tendency to complain and replace it with a heart of contentment. Help me to stop focusing on problems and start seeing Your divine work in my life. Teach us, O God, to count our blessings, not the problems we encounter. Almighty God, I choose to trust in Your divine guidance, giving thanks wholeheartedly for the roof over my head, the food on my table, and Your mercies that are renewed daily. Lord God, I sincerely appreciate your divine work in my life and the guidance of the Holy Spirit that leads me to make informed strategic decisions. Father, I offer unto you sacrifices of praise for your faithfulness and divine blessings in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. 

Wishing you abundant blessings. 👏💕🙏

    Let us give thanks with a grateful heart. When we are overwhelmed with every day fustration, let us pause and remember what is that one thing God has done that change our world and focus on it. Sometimes we behave as if God hath forgotten us but when we think of what He hath done for us we want to dance. Life is a slippery slope, sometimes we are up sometimes we are down but there is always a comeback. Let us wait on the Lord and be of good courage. Hold on. Change is coming. 🙏🙏💪💪

That Which Concerns Me

Good morning Scripture reading: Psalms 138 Worship sing: Turning Around For Me   Meditation:      The assurance we have today is that God will faithfully bring to completion everything about our lives and future. He sent His only son, Jesus Christ, not for those who are righteous; but to redeem sinners, restoring us to perfection. He specializes in perfection, giving us beauty for ashes, replacing emotional heaviness with the garment of praise, restoring broken relationships, wounded hearts, and lives marred by sin, transforming a hopeless state into a life of purpose and honor.       God specializes in transforming brokenness into a testament of His glory. No matter what challenges you face, God is actively working through all things to fulfill His purpose for your good. For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Change is coming and there is no ...

Good morning Scripture reading: Colossians 3:1-2 Hymn: Hold to God's Unchanging Hands   Meditation:      Hold to God's Unchanging Hand," penned by Jennie Wilson in 1906, reflects the message of Colossians 3:1-2 urging believers to anchor their hope in things eternal, rather than investing in temporary, fading earthly treasures. Build your hope on the unchanging promises of God, trusting in His unwavering faithfulness for earthly things we see are only temporary; but the heavenly, unseen things are everlasting. Build your confidence in the God of hope who will fill you with joy and peace that you may abound in hope through the power of the Holy Spirit.       Place your confidence in God for He delights in those who fear him, who put their hope in his unfailing love. Even amidst turmoil, chaos, and confusion, the believer's hope is secure in God's promises, providing the strength to endure trials with confidence rather than fear. Whatever ...

The Report of The Lord

Good morning Scripture reading: Numbers 13 Worship song: Whose Report Will You Believe   Meditation:      According to the LSD Law, the principle of 'majority rules' is a powerful decision-making principle in various contexts, particularly in election proceedings, which determines the outcome. However, this method was not a principle used in the story of the twelve spies. Obeying God's command, in preparation for the conquest, and to make informed strategic decisions, Moses sent agents to assess the strength of the inhabitants and the fertility of the land of Canaan.       Moses disregarded the convincing popular report of the majority and accepted the report of the faithful minority, choosing to trust God's promises over human fear. God assured the Israelites that the land of Canaan was legally theirs to take and occupy. It was the minority's report that shaped the Israelites' destiny. If you have received a report that is not favorable...
