THINGS TO BE THANKFUL TO GOD FOR…

11- 20- 10 MI DAILY DEVOTION (Psalm 100:1- 5)
THINGS TO BE THANKFUL TO GOD FOR…
1- “A Psalm of praise. Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands. 2- Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing. 3- Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. 4- Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. 5- For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.”
(II Corinthians 9:15) “Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.” (Psalms 30:12) “To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.” THINGS TO BE THANKFUL TO GOD FOR: Give thanks to God for your unspeakable gift. Let’s be thankful to God for the salvation that God gave us though our Lord Jesus Christ. We can also rejoice and be grateful for the spiritual blessings that He blessed us with. And we can also look forward to the heavenly places which God prepared for those who came to Him in humility of spirit for their salvation. Paul said that we have His grace and the Lord made us accepted in the beloved. One of the things that we may take for granted is “redemption through his blood”. It was not of money, blood of the animals or of man’s way, man’s will, manmade salvation, but through His blood. We can also look up to God with gratefulness for the forgiveness of our sins through Jesus Christ. The guilt, the dirty conscience and burdens is gone, because we were forgiven. Thank God for the brethren and pray for them. Keep them in your prayers and be thankful to God for the wisdom and knowledge from above. I’m so thankful to God for being a part of your life by sharing to you the Lord’s unspeakable gift and spiritual blessings through His Words of wisdom. Today, don’t hesitate to say, “Thank you…”
Ephesians 2:3-10 “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:  6- To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. 7- In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; 16- Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers; 17- That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:”
