There is a special bond between other Christians and ourselves. We have a wonderful family that may not be our physical relatives, but are spiritual brothers and sisters in Christ.
Today, be thankful for your Christian friends. Pray for them, encourage them and most of all show love to them. We are blessed to have Godly friends.
We can be thankful for God’s wisdom, but where do we find it?
God’s Word tells us the answer in the book of Job.
Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to those of us who know Him as our Savior. It is the Holy Spirit who gives us comfort in times of trouble and distress.
He dwells within us and is our teacher, comforter and guide. Today thank God for the Holy Spirit.
If your pastor preaches the Word and sometimes makes you feel uncomfortable because you need correction. If he brings you comfort when you are sick or hurting. If he and his family are a blessing to you, be thankful.
Not everyone has a pastor like that. Many people in this world cannot even go to church or worship because of persecution. Pray for your pastor and let him know you appreciate him.
Prophetic words?
We may loose our physical freedom but true freedom is found in Jesus. No one can take that away from us, no matter where we live.
If the Son(Jesus) therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. John 8:36
What we think about can make our day wonderful or terrible. Sometimes it is hard to control our thoughts.
That is when we need to seek God’s face and ask Him for His help and direction.
It is hard to be negative when we are concentrating on positive things. Fear and worry are not from God. How many times have you worried about something that never happened?
Think about the good things GOD has done for you and be thankful. Everyday this month write down something you are thankful for. No repeats. You will see that good thoughts make a good day.
Most of us start our day with a cup of coffee. The most important way to start our mornings though, is to spend it with Jesus. We must not neglect to read His Word and pray. That is a perfect way to start our day along with the coffee.
Psalms 5:3 My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O Lord; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.
Sometimes we cannot see good in the situation we are in. Maybe it’s illness, accident, loss of a loved one. In our finite minds we can not understand why things are happening to us..
But, GOD will turn even the worst tragedies in our lives into something good if we will trust Him to bring it to pass. It may take time. Even months or years. Then we look back and we can see how He uses these tests in our lives and turns them into testimonies.
The answer to that question is in the Bible. God made the heavens and the earth and nothing is too hard for Him.
God’s Word gives us the answer to what we should think about. If we think positive thoughts we will be happy and contented no matter what our circumstances.
Thinking negatively will only cause us to be anxious and worry. Negative thinking is not trusting in God.
