An old saying, “Sticks and Stones can break my bones, but words can never hurt me.” This statement is totally untrue. Our words can encourage, uplift and help someone else, or they can deeply hurt and wound. Once spoken we cannot take them back. God tells us in his word to speak good words.
Thanksgiving Day is now past and most people are now getting ready for the biggest holiday of the year. Shopping, wrapping, cooking and cleaning is primary on the minds of everyone. In all of that preparation we tend to forget what Christmas is all about. There is a saying, “Jesus is the reason for the season.” How true. Do not neglect your devotion time with Him. Bible reading and prayer are more important when we are busy. It keeps our focus on Jesus and helps us get through the work and preparation for the Holidays.
Psalms 29:2 Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name; worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.
Can we be thankful for the bad things in life? Maybe we don’t feel thankful, but God tells us to be thankful in all things. Tell Him you are thankful not because of feelings but because of obedience. Eventually, after a period of time you will be able to thank Him in your heart and remember the precious memories of the good things God has given you. (This is my experience after the death of 2 beloved sons)
1 Thessalonians 5:18
In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
Hebrews 2:12
Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee.
It is the week before Thanksgiving in the USA. Let us be thankful everyday, but especially this week.
1 Thessalonians 5:18
In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
We should be thankful for all our blessings everyday not just on Thanksgiving. Today look around and be thankful for the little things God does for us everyday.
Ephesians 5:20 Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
A perfect illustration to show what SOS Events Ministry does.
1 Corinthians 1:18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
Everything that is done and accomplished by SOS Events Ministry is done because God gives us the wisdom, power and strength to do what He asks us to do. Many times it is not easy as the enemy tries to stop us from doing God’s work, but God always gives what we need when we need it and souls are saved, volunteers come through and the results are His. To God Be the glory great things He has done and continues to do through this ministry. Please keep us in prayer, especially this very busy week with many events scheduled.
Romans 16:27 To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen.
