Tag: Bible verses about thanking God for our blessings

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-22-19

Philippians 4:4 (NKJV) 4 Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!

Rejoice! Praying and thanking God is what it is all about. He listens for our voice. He is omniscient, all-knowing!

When is the last time we gave Him thanks? When is the last time we took a few minutes to pray? It can be difficult in this day and age to remember to do these things on a daily basis. But it’s crucial and it means so much to God that we stop, thank Him and praise Him.

If we are a parent, we can understand what it is like to do things for our children and never hear or see the appreciation that we would like to see.

If we are married, we can understand how it feels when we never hear a thank you for all the things we continue to do for our spouse without even being asked.

If we have a friendship, we too know what it is like to always be the one to compromise and change our schedule to accommodate everyone else, but we never hear a thank you or an acknowledgement of what we did to keep the peace.

God feels the same way when we don’t see the things He is doing in our lives.

If we could share 3 words with you regarding rejoicing, they would be “keep it up”. You are making God’s day!

Where are the nine? That’s the question that Jesus asked after healing 10 lepers, and only one returned to thank Him. And that’s the title of our new video. 

In the video we talk about the nine and how it relates to our own lives as believers. 

We hope that you’ll take a few minutes and watch it.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-10-19

1 Thessalonians 5:18 (NKJV) 18 in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

Being thankful for what we have is something to keep at the forefront of our hearts and minds.

Sometimes it can be very easy to forget the hardships that God has brought us through. The sting we felt and tears we shed fade away into the past.

How about the heartache and fear that was so heavy at night when we laid awake in bed, trying to figure it all out? Have they just slowly become a distant memory?

It can be easy sometimes to forget how God, in His omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent way, came through and helped us come through it all.

Time goes by and we forget. The stress we once felt subsides. The tears turn to joy, the heartache heals and the fear, if we’re not careful, can turn into pride.

After all God brought us through, and our situation is behind us, remember Who set us free. Remember Who brought us out of our hardship, our situation. And don’t forget to remain in Him, and stay thankful for all that He will continue to help us with every day for as long as we live.

John 16:33 (NKJV) 33 These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-30-18

Psalm 100:4 (NKJV) 4 Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.

Praise the Lord for He is good! Amen.

Ever feel like you are on top of the world, like you are in one of those seasons of your life where you are just so thankful for everything?

Or maybe you just realize how blessed you are. You look around and you see how far God has brought you.

How about when we are helping someone that is going through a lot and we realize, “WOW, and I thought I had it bad.”

Sometimes we can get so caught up in all our work and the busyness around us that we don’t stop to notice or enjoy the blessings in our lives.

While we were taking a walk today, we were talking and enjoying the time together outside. I was thinking about how blessed we are to be able to walk, talk, enjoy the outdoors and to have each other to share it with. Look how many blessings there are even in just taking a walk.

There are huge blessings all around us. It’s important that we take a few moments and embrace God and what He is doing in our lives. Thank Him and give Him praise!

We all have wonderful things in our lives that we can be thankful for. We just have to take the time to see them.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-12-18

1 Thessalonians 5:18 (NKJV) 18 in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

Thank you, Lord, for your provision is always in the right timing and exactly what is needed.

Today as I reflect on the wonderful things God has done for us, I am reminded of how we really don’t have to worry about anything. Worrying wastes a lot of precious time.

When we worry, our mind gets caught up in the negative, the “what ifs”. It really takes away from thanking God for the things that He wants to do or has already done in our lives.

If we can thank God in times of trouble, famine, discomfort, bad reports, etc., we really do have an understanding of Who our Source is. Amen.

God will provide for us. That is not the question and we do not have to worry about that.

The question is, will we give Him a chance and begin to thank Him for His answer? Will we allow God to take the time that is needed? And during that time, will we continue to take the steps of obedience that God shows us individually, pertaining to each situation?

Start to thank Him today for His provision, and get things moving forward. Then take the steps He shows us, one day at a time. There is no time for worrying, only for thanking Him. Hallelujah!

Psalm 107:8 (NKJV) 8 Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness, And for His wonderful works to the children of men!

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-7-17

Luke 17:15-17 (NKJV) 15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, returned, and with a loud voice glorified God, 16 and fell down on his face at His feet, giving Him thanks. And he was a Samaritan. 17 So Jesus answered and said, “Were there not ten cleansed? But where are the nine?

Most people get very excited about the things that God does for them. We all do it. God provides something for us, or answers a prayer, and we can’t help but show our excitement or celebrate the victory.

God has done so much for so many of us. It’s safe to say that if we were to sit down and begin to make a list of our blessings, and the things God has done on our behalf, we could name off a lot of things.

What happens very often, though, is that we get so excited about our blessings that we forget to say “Thank You”. Our blessing or breakthrough comes and we completely forget Who it was that made it happen. We are all guilty of this at one time or another.

In the verses above, Jesus had just healed 10 lepers of their terrible disease. And yet only one of them even bothered to take the time to go to Jesus and thank Him.

Let’s make sure we are like that one who fell on his face at the feet of Jesus and said “Thank You”, and not like the nine.
