THANKFUL!

"Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, for our God is a consuming fire."
- Hebrews 13:28-29

God amazes me!
He holds the world together, tells the sun to shine, the snow to fall, the earth to turn. He hangs the stars in the heavens, and He holds the ocean in its place. He feeds the animals in the wild, and He provides for my every need!

I grew up with a certain perspective of who God was, but it wasn't until I developed a personal relationship with Him that I started to see who He really is. He is nothing like I thought He was.

We get so caught up in our daily lives that we often forget to just spend time worshiping God and giving Him thanks for what He does in our lives. I can't list everything that God has done for me, there is way to many to list and even some that I am not aware of, but that doesn't matter to God. He doesn't expect us to keep a score sheet of all that He has done. He just wants us to acknowledge Him and be very aware of who He is and His presence in our lives. 

I, like so many others on Facebook have been participating in 30 days of thankfulness for the month of November. I thought at first that it would be hard to come up with something everyday to be thankful for. But you know, it isn't always the big things that matter the most. God wants us to be thankful for the little things too. Many times its the little things that mean the most anyway.

Some things to be thankful for:
1)  For who God is. (I'm very thankful that He is God and that I'm not. I would be a horrible God!)
2)  For His provision for our needs.
3) For His blessings.
4) For His answers to our Prayers, Even when He says NO.
5) For the Church family that He has given us. (Such a huge blessing to have a family to lift us up and grow with)

Today's question: Do you spend time telling God how grateful and thankful you are for everything that He has done for you? 

Father, I just want to tell You how wonderful You are. I am in complete AWE of You. Thank You for everything that You have done for us. I pray Lord that we will always remember You and the things that You do for us. We couldn't make it in this life without You. Thank You for being You!
In Jesus name, Amen.
