1 Chronicles 16:34 Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good;
His faithful love endures forever. Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)
His faithful love endures forever. Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! We truly have so much to be thankful for, especially as Christians. We are thankful for His goodness, mercy and "faithful love".
Today's "Grace Gems" quoted Pastor James Smith in regards to this verse:
"O, give thanks to the Lord, Christian, for He has not dealt with you after your sins, nor rewarded you according to your iniquities! He has . . .
pardoned your sins,
justified your soul,
renewed your nature, and
given you a title to everlasting life!
pardoned your sins,
justified your soul,
renewed your nature, and
given you a title to everlasting life!
He has thus . . .
prevented your ruin,
borne with your follies,
supplied all your needs,
guided your steps, and
promised to conduct you to glory!
His mercy has been ever great toward you!"
prevented your ruin,
borne with your follies,
supplied all your needs,
guided your steps, and
promised to conduct you to glory!
His mercy has been ever great toward you!"
The first part deals with being thankful for our personal relationship and standing with God. The second stanza should cause us to stop and give thanks for His mercy and patience with us as we've lived our lives. Reading these words may we truly be thankful that His mercy truly has been "great towards" us.
May these words "control your hearts" today and bring you peace, yes, be thankful.
Colossians 3:15 And let the peace of the Messiah, to which you were also called in one body, control your hearts. Be thankful. Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)
In Christ,

for He is coming to judge the earth.

gather us and rescue us from the nations
