Well today is Friday or more well-known as Black Friday. By the time you are reading this people have already been shopping the deals all through the night. I would like to linger upon Thanksgiving a little bit more. I think that Thanksgiving is a concept that should be a part of every day. Can we ever be grateful enough? I am grateful that God has adopted me as His son. I am grateful that He gives me wisdom when I ask.
I am grateful to have a Bible that I can read and understand. I am grateful to have had men throughout my life who have taught me the Scriptures and challenged me to be a godly man. I am grateful for a church family who supports me and encourages me. I am grateful that God will direct my path when I trust in Him. I am grateful that God is my creator, my provider, my healer, my shepherd, my rock, my refuge, my king, my comforter, and my father. I am grateful that God is my ever present help in time of need.
I am grateful that God Himself resides in me through His Spirit. I am grateful that He gives me strength when I am weak. I am grateful that when He calls me, He also will equip me. I am grateful that in Him is joy, peace and life. I am grateful that He is my portion and that He is enough for me. I am grateful that He gives me living water. I am grateful that He gives me abundant life.
I am grateful that only in Him do I understand real love. I am grateful that He is incredibly patient with me and slow to anger. I am grateful that I am His masterpiece, created in Christ Jesus for good works. I am grateful to be get to be a small part of His plan in rescuing a lost world.
Grateful today,
Brian
