The Devotional - 015 - Thanksgiving, Amen!

A Thought for the Day – 015 – Thanksgiving

Romans 11:36 – That we should read from verse 28 through 36 is true, but notice these wonderful words concerning the Character of God that will never fade away for those who believe the Gospel “For of HIM and through HIM and to HIM are all things, to WHOM be glory forever, Amen!”

 

Comments and challenges

For most of us who read devotionals and there are many on the World Wide Webb; thanksgiving is an everyday expression of the joy and love experienced by people resulting from the grace and mercies of God. If God were to put all of these people together in one large place, the expressions of “joy and love” would be heard throughout the universe.

Want to see this from scripture? Notice then Revelation 5:11-12; just after the rapture of the saints of God; we are in the Throne room in the presence of the LAMB, notice! “Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands, saying with a loud voice: “Worthy is the LAMB who was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom, and strength and honor and glory and blessing!”

So the event takes place in heaven, but it is heard throughout the universe; this then for me is the greatest Thanksgiving Service; notice Revelation 5:13; “And every creature which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying: Blessing and honor and glory and power be to Him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb, forever and ever!” This will not be the sound of “brass or a clanging cymbal” but it will be the Love of the saints of God who have suffered long, 1 Corinthians 13.

As many, tomorrow we will involve our families in a day that began for American’s as a day of giving thanks to the LAMB. The sounds of tomorrow will sadly resemble the voices of selfishness and pride; “Americans have lost their way” instead of a nation of God fearing men and women we are now a people group of immoral conduct with a remnant of people who say, “for of HIM and through HIM and to HIM are all things, to WHOM be glory forever, Amen!”

We have had our national day of THANKS and our national day of PRAYER but I am fearful “brothers and sisters” that we are about to have a national day of MOURNING; but in the meantime and while we have the FREEDOM to do so… let us give thanks to God for the gifts and the calling of God for (His saints) are irrevocable! Romans 11:29.

Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil > Cling to what is good > Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love > in honor giving preference to one another. Romans 12:9-10 and one day soon the sound of thanksgiving in heaven will turn the creatures of the world from mourning to rejoicing; note Romans 8:21-22 – because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God, for we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now.” And if you have time please read Romans 8:18-30.

Blessing and Glory to you all as we give Thanks to God; God willing I write again on Friday – 11/29/13.
