I was glad when they said unto me, “Let us go into the house of the Lord. Psalm 122 verse 1.
It is a privilege, even an honor, to be able to worship the Lord. If we have the opportunity to meet with others and be together to sing unto the Lord and give thanks to him, that, too, is a blessing.
We don’t have to wait for the Lord’s day, but we have that grace to approach him at all times.
Let us never squander this freedom, this blessing, but let us do it to please our God.
So we thy people and sheep of thy pasture will give thee thanks forever; we will shew forth thy praise to all generations. Psalm 79 verse 13.
We have a privilege to call on the name of the Lord at all times, not just to make requests but also to praise him and to give thanks.
Thanks giving is forgotten when we have needs. We look to him for help so easily, and yet to thank him, we have to have a reference point.
How selfish are we to put our needs forward everytimewe approach him.
For a moment, take time to give the Lord a word of praise and thank him not just for what he has done but because he is God and worthy to be praised.
What are your thoughts on the concept of living a very long life?
I think to live a very long life is a blessing. The number of our days God will fulfill. Some may not live long, but with the time we are all given, it is best to live it well. Living long is great when there is good health and the finances to sustain such a life.
For me, living a life pleasing to the Lord is a blessed life because the Lord will give me the desires of my heart. And giving thanks to the Lord is having the mind of Christ.
YET TO BE # 296
Oh, Lord, with praise and joy, I give thanks.
I do not deserve thy goodness.
I live in fear and anxiety about things I cannot control.
Yet, when I cry to thee and call upon thy name, I feel a peace that surrounds me;
I breathe and move forward.
Not knowing what will happen or where I should go.
But belief inhabits my heart, and I trust thee.
So, I give thanks.
also take time to remember the warrior wo talked to the Lord on your behalf.
Gratitude is a delicate state of mind. “A quality of being thankful, ready to show appreciation and to return kindness.”
A need for prayer is requested.
Words to the Lord ascend in compassion and love.
An answer is given and received time passes, and the waiting continues.
Where is the attitude of gratitude?
Where are the words of kindness?
Where is the giving of thanks?
Always give thanks to the Lord for His goodness.
But also take time to remember the warrior who talked to the Lord on your behalf.
Let us weep, sit, commiserate, and rejoice together, lest we forget to be grateful to those who pray for our needs.
And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? But where are the nine? There are not found that returned to give glory to God save this stranger. Luke 17: 17 and 18
