Thanksgiving In June

Singing my song of Thanksgiving

Everyone, everywhere, I thank God for you! I call you all friends.

I am happy to speak of our Lord, and to tell of His everlasting love.

Thankfully, joyfully, I realize He has made me who, and what I am.

You and I, we belong to Him, we are not alone. Our Father loves us dearly.

We are blessed to come before God Almighty, to enter His gates, and to sing songs of praise to Him.

We can call Him by Name; Abba Father! He is so good to us. I know He is!

I am never alone. He is always with me, loving me, caring for me – His is good to me.

He is the same merciful God whom my great-grandfather and his great-grandfather worshipped and depended upon. Our God is so reliable, all the time.

I am thankful I know Jesus, that I have a Bible to read, eyes to see with, intelligence to understand with, two hands and fingers with which I can type this message, my good health, my church and all of you; whom I call friends. I am thankful for this wonderful land; America, in which I was born having two wonderful parents who are now in heaven with my Lord. I am thankful for my church, my wonderful neighbors and everyone who goes to work in the stores and businesses that provide me with the things I think I need. I am so blessed by God.

I gladly, and with an appreciative heart sing this song of Praise to Him.

(This is my personal response to Psalm 100).

Walk Of Faith

I wonder, do you think we miss God’s purpose for our lives because we are waiting to learn more of what God has planned for us? Truth is; God isn’t required to lay it all out for us. All He must do if He has a plan for our lives is to show us how and then enable us to do it. It seems when we don’t know all the particulars, life is too perplexing. We think, “ but I need to know just what God wants me to do.” Abram (later known as Abraham) probably had thoughts just like this. God asked Abram to go somewhere he wasn’t familiar with and he most likely thought of asking God, Lord, must I go somewhere I don’t know, can’t I just stay here in Haran? However, God’s plan for Abram was far greater than anything Abram could ever imagine. Our personal feelings, vision, and human reasoning will always get in the way of our walk of faith . God teaches us to have faith in Him by placing us in positions where our feelings, vision, and common knowledge don’t work for us. Haven’t you ex...

Get Out Of Your Boat

In (Matthew 14:25) Jesus had told the disciples to get into the boat and go on ahead of Him to the other side of the lake. The Bible says; He went up on a mountainside by Himself to pray. The wind was strong that night and the waves buffeted the small boat, tossing it to and fro. It would have been a frightening time to be out on the water; especially that late at night. The men in the boat trembled with fear, and when they saw Jesus walking out to them on the water they thought He was a ghost. Jesus assured them it was He and they should not be afraid. Peter, one of the disciples, said, “Lord, if it’s You, tell me to come to You on the water!” Jesus told him, “Come.” Peter stepped out of the boat, walked toward Jesus, but when he saw the wind; the Bible says, he was afraid, and beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!” Peter’s faith was strong, at first. He was walking on the top of the waves just as Jesus was, but the moment he allowed himself to think rationally instead of t...

THIS IS A SPECIAL POSTING. PLEASE READ!

In addition to my daily message today, this is something very special I believe the Lord wants me to post right now! Help Me Overcome My Unbelief! As a Christian, I believe God loves me and wants the best for me. Certainly, in His Word (Psalm 103:3 NIV) the Psalmist wrote; Praise the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits – who forgives all your (my) sins and heals all your (my) diseases, who redeems your (my) life from the pit…. I know this, really I do! Still, there are times when I don’t see God actually doing what I expect Him to do; to save me from my trouble; to provide me with what I want; and to provide the healing release I expect. Before I became a Christian I really had a problem with faith, much less be able to cling to any promises God made to me; regardless of whether I was a Christian or not! Therefore, I understand how we can have moments of unbelief, or we can just flat out not trust what God has promised us. This is Satan at work, big time ! “Get...

It's a new day - Let us rejoice!
