Praising God
I want to start today with praising God. Thankfulness is appropriate – especially this time of year, but I wonder if we forget plain, simple praise. God is so good. He has done so many things for us. His steadfast love is amazing.
Next week, I will be posting Bible verses that praise God. Feel free to post your favorite Bible verse praising God. I may use it next week.
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for your steadfast love and faithfulness. I praise Your name!
I pray this in Jesus’ name.
God is so good!
Thankfulness to Show the Gospel
I chose the gospel as my word for this year. This verse is part of the reason why. I am thankful that God saved me from my sins through the death of His Son, Jesus Christ. I want to live so others see how good God is. If people know the truth of Who God is, I believe we would see a drastic change in our world. The goodness of God overcomes the ugliness of sin.
Today I am thankful for the gospel and the difference it can make in our lives.
Dear Heavenly Father, Thank You for providing the gospel through Jesus Christ. Thank You for being so good. Please help me to show Your goodness to others. I want others to see Your goodness in my life. I praise Your name.
I pray this in Jesus’ name.
God is so good.
Thanksgiving and Praise
Can you believe it is November? There have been times the last two years when it felt as time stood still; however, as usual, time flies by and I wonder what happened.
I want to take November to talk about thankfulness again this year. When times get tough, I find it much easier to complain. I want to be thankful more often. Writing about thankfulness helps me do that.
Today I want to start with thankfulness for God’s Word. Today’s verse tells us about the usefulness of the Bible. We have a whole list of how the Bible (Scripture) prepares us to do good works.
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for giving us Your Word. I am thankful for the instruction it gives me. I praise Your name!
I pray this in Jesus’ name.
God is so good.
Uncomplicated
I have talked the last couple weeks about trusting in Jesus Christ to save us from our sins. Some think that to have a relationship with God, there is a difficult formula to manage. No, it is very simple. Romans 10:9-10 tell us that it is as simple as confession (saying, “I’m sorry”) and belief that God has done what He says. Jesus did the hard work when He died on the cross. He took the penalty on Himself.
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for providing such a simple way to have a relationship with You. You are worthy of all worship, but You made a way for us to come to You. I praise Your name.
I pray this in Jesus’ name.
God is so good.
