“Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.
Oh, give thanks to the God of gods! For His mercy endures forever.
Oh, give thanks to the Lord of Lords! For His mercy endures forever:”
Psalms 136:1-3
Verses speak for themselves!!! Give Thanks!
Tom
“giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,”
Ephesians 5:20
God has blessed us over abundantly! May we give thanks always for the great things he has done and especially for Jesus taking our sins upon the cross! All glory to God!
Tom
“in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”
I Thessalonians 5:18
Notice it says in everything not for everything. Everything you go through is not good but Jesus is with you in everything you go through and thus we give thanks no matter what!
Thank you Jesus for being in me and in everything I will give thanks! Praise the Lord!
Tom
Not just this week but everyday give thanks to the Lord!
“Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.”
I Chronicles 16:34
Tom
“For as by one man’s (Adam) disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man’s (Jesus) obedience many will be made righteous.”
Romans 5:19
Remember this…even though Adam and Eve were the first sinners we are just as guilty as they are before God. Thus we all need to be made righteous and the ONLY way to do that is by faith in Jesus as your Lord and Savior.
If you haven’t already surrendered your life to Him today!
Tom
“Beloved, I beg you as sojourners and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul,”
I Peter 2:11
We are just passing through here on earth on our way to our home with Jesus. Stay focused and leave the earthly desires for the world. We are to be doing the work God has called us to such as sharing the gospel and loving others. Don’t forget where you are headed and what you are to be doing as a child of God!
Tom
“Our days may come to seventy years, or eighty, if our strength endures; yet the best of them are but trouble and sorrow, for they quickly pass, and we fly away.”
Psalms 90:10
Death is near to us all. Thomas A Kempis said “The hour of our death will soon come; see then how it will be with you in another world; for today a man is, tomorrow he is not.”
In another world means heaven or hell. Are you prepared to die? Time is short and you had better get right with God through the shed blood of Jesus!
Tom
“For while we are in this tent, we groan and are burdened, because we do not wish to be unclothed but to be clothed instead with our heavenly dwelling, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.”
2 Corinthians 5:4
As we live in this earth we suffer from the curse of sin. It is a struggle!!! But we must remember for the follower of Jesus when Jesus returns we will be given a new perfect body and our eternal life will begin. Oh what a day that will be!
Tom
“It is better to go to a house of mourning than to go to a house of feasting, for death is the destiny of everyone; the living should take this to heart.”
Ecclesiastes 7:2
Chew on this today…about the above verse Thomas A Kempis writes…”If you thought more often of your death, rather than the length of life, you would doubtless be more zealous to change.”
Death is coming, judgement is coming, are you ready to meet God?
Tom
““If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple.”
Luke 14:26
If you want to be a follower of Jesus He MUST come before all even your family and yourself! Are you willing? It is very costly but yet so rewarding!
Chew on that today!
Tom
“Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you, let him be your servant.”
Matthew 20:26
God says if we truly want to be great serve others. Pretty simple! What will we chose? To be great in God’s eyes or to be great in the words eyes?
Tom
