PREPARE FOR THANKSGIVING - Devotional 2
Ps 100:1 «A Psalm of Thanksgiving.» Make a joyful shout to the LORD, all you lands!
Ps 100:4 Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.
Devotional Thoughts:
How do you start your day? Some people are slow starters and others hit the floor running. I urge you to start the day praising God for another day and asking Him to use you today to spread joy to others you encounter. This is the true servant’s heart. Daniel of the Old Testament was a man of prayer. He was a fanatic according to the world around him. Three times a day he knelt and prayed. The result was that regardless if it was hungry lions in lion’s den or evil men trying to end his life, he was victorious. Is your prayer life only active when it is convenient? What changes could you and I experience if we became as faithful as Daniel? David was a believer in giving thanks. Listen to his four principles that he urged God’s people to practice.
1.Enter His gates with thanksgiving.
2.Enter His courts with praise.
3.Be thankful to Him.
4.Bless His name.
In one week we will celebrate a day set aside as Thanksgiving. Let us start today be prepared to make this day of Thanksgiving about more than turkey and dressing.
Prayer Thought:
Dear Jesus: Remind us of our blessings so that we can give thanks from a cheerful heart. Amen.
