GET OR GIVING

THANKSGIVING DEVOTIONAL SERIES, GET OR GIVING
SCRIPTURE: Col 2:7:
Rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving
“GET OR GIVING”
The advertisements are out telling you of the specials on “Black Friday”. The day after we celebrate Thanksgiving is the busiest day with shoppers waiting in line for the store to open. We men usually avoid this like the plague. It’s not uncommon to see people getting in fights trying to claim the last of merchandise. I would propose to you that we should dedicate ourselves to “being built up in Him”. Perhaps this might be the time to pledge to reading the Bible daily or giving a special offering of thank You this coming Sunday. Perhaps writing a thank you to your pastor and wife for their faithfulness in preaching the word would be a blessing you could give. As a pastor I can tell you that a word of appreciation fitly spoken is much appreciated. I challenge you to find someone to bless this Thanksgiving. I am excited about the impact that we can make for Christ on our community. Do not forget to pray for the peace of Jerusalem in accordance to Gods instruction. Now is also the time to get together Christmas baskets for our military serving overseas in the path of danger. Let us establish a stronghold of faith and abound with Thanksgiving. God bless as you show your thanks.
PRAYER THOUGHT:
Dear Jesus make us aware of our blessings and excited about the opportunity to spread joy to others as our offering of Thanks. Amen!
