Thanking God and Praising His Name! He is So Good in My Life!

 

Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name.

-Psalm 100:4

Today we need to give thanks and praise to our Lord for all His goodness! Today on Thanksgiving is a good day to pause and remember all the goodness in our lives and all God does for us! We need to count our blessings, today and always! Joel Osteen had a nice Bible verse, write-up, and prayer today for Thanksgiving which is very nice. Joel said, "In the Old Testament, God commanded His people to take time out from their busy schedules to celebrate a variety of national festivals, which were times of remembrance. He wanted His people to pause and remember the marvelous deeds that He had performed for them—how He parted the Red Sea, how He brought water out of the rock, how manna came down from heaven in the wilderness. These festivals were marked by thanksgiving and joyous feasting. Today is a special day for us to do the same—to enter His gates with an offering of thanksgiving and praise from our hearts for the good things He has done in our land, in our lives, and in the lives of our family members. Pause and remember those places and spaces in your life when God brought you victory, brought you success. When you remember that He is providing for all your needs and give thanks to God for who He is and the miracles He has done in your life, you will be transformed." We need to take time to reflect and give thanks! God has brought so much victory to my life, so many miracles, so much goodness and I am so grateful for this! 

A Prayer for Today by Joel Osteen

“Father, thank You that I can enter into Your presence with a heart full of thanksgiving. Thank You for providing for all my needs and doing exceedingly abundantly above all I could ever ask or imagine. I give You a sacrifice of praise for You are good, and Your mercy endures forever! In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
