Thanksgiving / thanks living!

May the power of God flow through us all in a new and fresh way that will produce a holy gratitude in our hearts that will bring forth a transformation in our lives! May we live in a state of continual thanksgiving to Jesus for all that He has done in our lives. May we never just seek His touch in our time of need and then go merrily on our way without taking the time to return and love and worship Him and give Him our best in return!

When we come to Jesus to thank Him and worship Him and to give back to Him out of the gratitude of our hearts, it is then that we will discover the true treasures of the Kingdom of God in our lives. Thanksgiving lived out every day truly makes Jesus the Master in our lives.

Psalm 119:7

I will praise you with an upright heart as I learn your righteous laws. —

Praise is integrally connected with our character. So for us to worship God, the intent of our hearts and the effort of our lives must show the determined desire to know and live his will.

While we will never do this perfectly, grace covers us as we seek to live for his glory. But that grace must never be used as a pretence to excuse spiritual laziness or intentional weakness.

Whose Approval are You Living For?

“I am not trying to do what I want, but only what [my Father] who sent me wants” John 5:30(GNT)

1 John 1:7

If we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin. —

As we seek to please God and trust in his grace, more grace is supplied — we are given relationship with each other. And while Jesus' death was "once for all," its cleansing power goes on and on as long as our hearts are tuned to his grace and our hearts seek to walk his path.

Negative Atmosphere

“But You are a shield around me, O LORD; You bestow glory on me and lift up my head.” Psalm 3:3
Under His Wings

“He will cover you with His feathers; you will take refuge under His wings. His faithfulness will be a protective shield.” Psalm 91:4 (HCSB)
