“Offer to God
thanksgiving,
and pay your vows to the Most High.
Call upon me
in the day of trouble;
I will deliver you, and you shall glorify
me.”
Psalm 50:14-15
Before you ask anything of the Lord,
first bring thanksgiving to him. Oh HOW we take for granted the many
blessings he has blessed us with! If your eyes see, think about those
who are blind. If your ears hear, think about those who are deaf. If
your legs carry you, think about those who are paralyzed. Remember
“There, but for the grace of God, go I,” and bring thanksgiving
to God for the many blessings in your life that you've taken for
granted.
Help yourself to realize how very blessed you are,
even amid any trial you may be going through. Write down all the
things you’re thankful for, things you don’t ordinarily even
think of. Thank him for the phone or computer you’re reading this
on. Thank him for your washer and dryer, or your access to one. Thank
him for the shower in your bathroom. Thank him for the clothes you
were able to acquire. Thank him for your stove. Thank him for the
green grass, the beauty of his handiwork in the clouds and skies and
oceans and forests. Thank him for the rain and the snow. Thank him for the privilege of knowing him.
Thank God for every single thing you’ve never thanked him for. Keep writing,
and write some more, and then some more …and you will be astonished
at the blessings of God in your life.
Vs 50:
‘Whoever
offers praise glorifies me;
and to him who orders his conduct
aright
I will show the salvation of God.’
