Greetings,
Have you thanked God recently for what He has already done for you? Did you know that gratitude is so important, that it’s actually the first step required to enter His Presence?
Psalm 100:4 (NKJV) – “Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.”
Gratitude is also the key to receiving even more of God’s generous blessings! Israel never seemed to learn this lesson. God not only delivered them from slavery, He brought them through the Red Sea–as if it was a paved highway, fed them manna from heaven, and supernaturally cared for them for 40 years. Yet, time and time again they complained, until God finally said,
Deuteronomy 32:18 (NKJV) – “Of the Rock who begot you, you are unmindful, And have forgotten the God who fathered you.”
Had they been thankful, can you imagine how many other blessings God would have showered upon them?
Father, we are so thankful for all You have ALREADY brought us through and the innumerable blessings you have ALREADY showered upon us! As the old song goes, “Through many dangers, toils and snares, I have already come.” It’s Your Grace that has brought us safe thus far! I know that You will be with me each step of my journey, no matter what I face. That is a huge blessings. I thank You for caring so much for me.
Today, I’m worshiping with Eddie James and “Give Thanks.”
We love you and are praying for you. Be INSPIRED!
Pastor
