happy thanksgiving – Fearless Living

As you prepare to gather with family and friends this Thanksgiving, I pray you will see the many things and people around you that are worthy of thanks. From the food so lovingly prepared, to the fun conversations the friends and relatives provide, to the stress-filled moments and the hustle and bustle of the gathering, may your minds come full circle and fix for even a moment on the God who provides all we have. Give thanks to Him who gives us all we need, Thank you Lord.

Here is a favorite thanksgiving psalm.

Psalm 95:1-3 Oh come, let us sing to the Lord;
    let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation!
²Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving;
    let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise!
³For the Lord is a great God,
    and a great King above all gods.

Have a blessed day or days! Let it renew your spirit and bring you joy as you Give Thanks.

I pray this has been a wonderful day filled with thankfulness. Whether you are alone or with family, it is a time to reflect and take stock on what God has graciously given to you this past year. Be it health, shelter, friends, wealth, an improved attitude, hopefulness or peace, God’s goodness puts it all into perspective. We could be ill, homeless, friendless, poor, experience depression or anxiety, despair or agitation BUT if we place our focus on Jesus, He will help us to see His good, His provision in whatever circumstances in which we are tangled. May you see this psalm in your day and in your own time. Let your voice be raise din thanks and praise.

A Psalm for giving thanks.

1 Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth!
² Serve the Lord with gladness!
Come into his presence with singing!

³Know that the Lord, he is God!
It is he who made us, and we are his;
we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

⁴Enter his gates with thanksgiving,
and his courts with praise!
Give thanks to him; bless his name!

⁵For the Lord is good;
his steadfast love endures forever,
and his faithfulness to all generations.

Blessings this Thanksgiving and may you find a reason to praise God each and every day. Praise Him and claim Deuteronomy 31:6 “Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you.” and 2 Corinthians 12:9 ‘But he (Jesus) said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.as you navigate each day.” He will provide all you need!
