You will have all you want to eat, and you will give thanks to the Lord your God...
2 CORINTHIANS 9:15 (NLT)
Thank God for this gift too wonderful for words!
THE ESSENCE
Thank God for the indescribable gifts he's given.
DAILY FODDER
Being thankful involves four things:
- recognizing the source of the gifts
- recognizing the magnitude of the gifts
- expressing the gratitude
- allowing the gifts to change your outlook on life
PRAYER
God, your generosity is beyond words. How can I thank you enough for what I can't understand? I can start with what I do know — life, new life through Christ and his sacrifice, forgiveness, freedom from the grip of sin, companionship, daily bread, hope for the future... Thank you for including me in your life. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
