Day 12 – Thanksgiving
Unbelievers know the power of thanksgiving. Every self-help guru talks about being thankful. They are right. Being thankful brings great benefit to your soul.
And of course we know that our soul, body and spirit are intrinsically intertwined (Day 2). We are triune in nature. Made in His image (Gen 1:26-27).
Where they go wrong though, is offering up thanks to the universe, or just being generally grateful.
When we give thanks to our creator,
our souls come alive,
bitterness fleas,
we remind ourselves of His goodness,
and we invite Him to do it again,
and we invite His presence.
The bible says that ‘the testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of prophecy’ – Revelation 19:10. It is a declaration of what He has done and will do again.
Psalm 100:4 – ‘Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise’.
Worship (who He is) and Thanksgiving (what He is done) helps us to enter into His presence, where we are eternally and continually transformed more and more into His likeness ……
