Getting Help And Giving Thanks
Those of us who have acted on the saying “God could and would, if He were sought” have witnessed the blessing of God in our lives. In our desperation we sought God about our powerlessness over what was going on and are thankful for His counsel, compassion, and love, as He showed us how to live in freedom from the bondage to our addiction. Through faith in Jesus, God received us into His family and now we are thankful to be called sons and daughters of our Heavenly Father.
I will praise God’s name by singing to him. I will bring him glory by giving him thanks. That will please the Lord more than offering him an ox. It will please him more than offering him a bull with its horns and hooves. Poor people will see it and be glad. The hearts of those who worship God will be strengthened. The Lord hears those who are in need. He doesn’t forget his people in prison. Let heaven and earth praise him. Let the oceans and everything that moves in them praise him. (Psalm 69:30-34 NIRV)
God cared so deeply about the state of the souls of the people He created that He sent Jesus into the world to reconcile us to Himself. God is not willing that any person should perish but that all would come and receive the gift of life with Him forevermore. It is most comforting to know that costly sacrifices are not required to please God. It’s our thankfulness that brings Him glory. Even the least of us can give thanks to God knowing that it delights His heart.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, I give You praise and thanks that when I am in trouble and call on You, You answer me and show Yourself strong on my behalf. Amen
