Morning by Morning,
November 23 - Spirit of Thanksgiving Remains
Good morning, Lord Jesus.
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, I love You, Lord with all my heart, mind, soul,
and strength. ...
"Rejoice always, pray
without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God
in Christ Jesus for you" (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18).
The great day of great
food, family, and friends, gathered around tables full of turkey and dressing,
all saturated in the sounds of football games on television, in full expression
of the American way of life, has come and gone. And hopefully it still a part of
the American way to give God thanks and praise for at least a minute before the
meal on Thanksgiving Day. At least our family homes and places of worship are a
few places left in America where the mention of God and the name of Jesus is
stilled allowed and still free from governmental legislation or court
order.
There is still a Spirit of
Thanksgiving that rises to heaven from the hearts of God's children here in this
land. It may only be a remnant, but at least no one can say that there's no
longer at least a remnant of thankful hearts who still appreciate all You've
done and all the blessings we have.
Lord, let the Spirit of
Thanksgiving not pass away just because Thanksgiving Day has come and gone. Let
us continue to give thanks in all circumstances, with grateful hearts for Your
Presence with us no matter what. We don't have to be thankful for all that
happens, but we can be thankful for all we have and all You are, in the midst of
whatever happens. It's in thanksgiving of God that we remain and abide in the
Presence of God (Psalm 95:2). In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
Be
encouraged today! In the Love of Jesus, Tommy Hays
Friends, I
pray a Spirit of Thanksgiving will fill your heart through all
circumstances. Please pray the same for me. God bless you, my friend.
I hope you had a Happy
Thanksgiving! I'm blessed to be with family and friends out at my mom's house
in the mountains of New Mexico for Thanksgiving a few days of rest. I'm thankful
for your friendship and joining with me in the journey of prayer and all your
encouragment and support in so many ways.
