Think and Oh Give Thanks”

It’s the Season of Thankfulness. We should think of the Lord’s goodness and “Oh Give Thanks” unto the Lord. Thankfulness means “to express gratitude. We ought to thank God every day all year long. God’s Word says that, “Whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God”. (Colossians 3:17).

I challenge you to stop and think and “oh give thanks” to the Lord. Think about how you can thank God during this month and beginning this week of November 11 through November 15 and throughout this Brag on God: Think and Thank series. Some people confuse praising God with thanking Him. What’s the difference? When we praise God we celebrate Him for who He is. When we thank God, we celebrate Him for what He does. For example we praise God because He is great and He is love. We thank Him for loving us so much that He sent Jesus.

Remember to give thanks unto the Lord for all that He has done. Thank God for his timing and faithfulness in provision. Thank God for His peace. Think about His goodness to you and how He has allowed you to see another day. He has protected you from dangers seen and unseen. He has….

Begin to think and thank the Lord. Think and meditate on his loving kindness to you. Then begin to thank God and brag on Him.

During this season let family and friends know you care and show it ( show and tell-Do). During this Holiday Season of joy , celebration and gathering with family and friends(and really all the year) remember those grieving from lost(divorce, death, rejection, failure). Pray for and remember those who are suffering from illness and depression, the poor and lonely . This time of year is often depressing to some. Pray for them and then—- DO. Give a smile, a hug, an encouraging word, a touch, a donation, feed them,give a gift, a visit, support and provide resources. We are God’s ambassadors created to do good works.

Please mediate on the scripture of thanks daily.
