Bible Ballistics: BBs #313 My Thanksgiving Prayers!!!
I would simply like to share two of my favorite prayers from scripture with you today. I also pray that your Thanksgiving will be a time of reflection and gratitude, knowing that “my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” I pray that we all enjoy the beauty and love that God so abundantly blesses us with, and be sure to remember those who may be alone or struggling and reach out as you have opportunity. May our attitude of gratitude by totally contagious. I’m always reminded of my favorite church sign slogan: “Are you humbly grateful, or grumbly hateful?” The choice is yours.
“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.” Psalm 100
And my prayer for you, with Paul in Colossians 1:9-13
“For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire
that ye might be filled with the knowledge
of his will
in all wisdom
and spiritual understanding;
10 That ye might walk worthy
of the Lord
unto all pleasing,
being fruitful in every good work,
and increasing in the knowledge of God;
11 Strengthened
with all might,
according to his glorious power,
unto all patience
and longsuffering
with joyfulness;
12 Giving thanks unto the Father,
which hath made us meet
to be partakers
of the inheritance
of the saints
in light:
13 Who hath delivered us
from the power of darkness,
and hath translated us
into the kingdom
of his dear Son:
14 In whom we have redemption
through his blood,
even the forgiveness of sins:”
AMEN and AMEN!
Well said!
