10 REASONS TO BE THANKFUL
1. Another Day!
Can you add a single day, hour, minute, or second to your life? Or, are your days numbered by God? If you open your eyes or awake to another day, it is something to be thankful for!
2. Because God says so.
3. When we rejoice in the Lord, it brings joy.
4. We have continuous (24/7) access to communicate with God through prayer.
God’s Word tells us to give thanks or be thankful no matter what. Plus, we are instructed to rejoice. The term rejoice derives from the Old French term rejoir, meaning “to cause joy (joir – joy). God says that we are to pray continuously because prayer is a petition and how we communicate with God. Aren’t you thankful that God doesn’t have “office hours”? I know that I am!
5. His Love, mercy, and faithfulness are fresh and endless!
No matter how crazy, how ratchet, how faithless, and how godless we get, God still Loves us, is still faithful to us, and He still extends His mercy to us, giving us chance after chance. On our best day, our righteousness are as menstrual rags (Isaiah 64:6).
6. Perseverance produces abundance.
It is great that our struggles can be used for our advancement and the advancement of others so that God gets the glory. We just need to keep the faith!
7. We are overcomers by default!
God has already overcome the world through Christ Jesus. All we have to do is accept HIS INVITATION and we automatically win the war, receiving the gift of eternal life in the Kingdom of Heaven.
8. We can take a load off.
Enough said.
9. Peace.
We can go to God with our problems, leave it with Him, and take on unexplainable peace…That’s good news.
10. Life. Abundant Life.
Are you thankful that you have accepted GOD’S INVITATION for eternal life? I know that I am!
