Getting Help And Giving Thanks

Sunday December 13, 2020

Those of us who have acted on the saying “God could and would, if He were sought” have witnessed the blessing of God in our lives.  We sought God in our desperation over what was going on and have been thankful for His compassion, love, and counsel, as He has shown us how to live in freedom from the bondage of our addiction. Through faith in Jesus, God received us into His family and now we are thankful to be called sons and daughters of the King of Kings.

 I will praise God’s name by singing to him. I will bring him glory by giving him thanks. That will please the Lord more than offering him an ox. It will please him more than offering him a bull with its horns and hooves. Poor people will see it and be glad. The hearts of those who worship God will be strengthened. The Lord hears those who are in need. He doesn’t forget his people in prison. Let heaven and earth praise him. Let the oceans and everything that moves in them praise him. (Psalm 69:30-34 NIRV)
God cares deeply about the state of the souls of the people He created and sent Jesus into the world to reconcile us to Himself.  God is not willing that any person should perish but that all would come to Him and receive the gift of life with Him forevermore.  It is most comforting to know that costly sacrifices are not required to please God.  It’s thankfulness that brings Him glory.  Even the least of us can give thanks to God knowing that it delights His heart to hear from us.
In every trouble we encounter we are told to call on God and praise him for His help when the situation is resolved.  Our aim should be to walk with God in righteousness and true holiness. If, for whatever reason, we fail to keep His ways, He invites us to humbly come before Him and ask for His mercy and forgiveness.  When we do, He will be faithful to forgive and restore us. God is on our side and always deals graciously with us. So, as His sons and daughters who have breath, let us unceasingly praise the Lord.  He is good, and His love endures forever.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, I give You praise and thanks that when I call on You, You hear my prayers, and show Yourself strong on my behalf.  Amen
