Thanksgivin’ Iz Almost here…
Nov 23Ok. So Thanksgiving is almost here…
To alot of people, Thanksgiving is all about traditions and food. But after yesterday’s sermon at Reston Bible Church, it helped me get a more intense focus on the real meaning. It’s in the name… THANKS-giving! Giving-thanks! Pastor Tony Pedroni talked about finding our joy NOT in our cirumstances, but in KNOWING that the Lord is God. Not just saying, “Sure, I know He’s God” What does being God entail? How many attributes can I learn about Him every time I read the Bible? How can I praise him through my circumstances and way I react to things, instead of let the devil steal my joy, OR get my joy when circumstances are good. Paul & Silas…got put in jail…and they were PRAISING God for everything…they were looking for ways to praise God for the circumstances.
How can I really KNOW that He is God??! When I really know and understand that He is God, and He’s all-knowing, all-powerful, in control, always faithful, and always loves me…THEN can I have joy…no matter HOW good OR bad the circumstances are/are going to get!
~SELAH~
ONE THING I’M VERY THANKFUL FOR:
IS HOW GOD HAS ALWAYS, ALWAYS BROUGHT ME BACK TO HIM! AND HE’S TAKEN CARE OF ME! I SHOULD HAVE BEEN DEAD. HE IS SOVEREIGN!
