Thank you is probably second nature for most of us.
Someone opens a door, “Thank you.”
Someone hands you a receipt, “Thank you.”
Someone lets you into traffic, and you wave ’Thank you’ (hopefully).
We throw around ‘Thank you’ like it’s nothing, but our thanksgiving is EVERYTHING. It is praise to our God!
“I will praise God’s name in song and glorify him with thanksgiving.” Psalm 69:30
He created and orchestrated everything. He stirs up the wind and, at one time or another, He stirred up your soul to receive His glorious love.
When we are thankful for little moments, the big moments, and the people scattered across our lives and tell Him so, we glorify Him.
So this November, glorify God with your thanks. Pray and pray often about what you are thankful for. Share your thankfulness with others!
Use the gratitude cards below to thank your postal worker, your friend, your parent, or a stranger for a smile. Use the thankfulness mobile as a fun craft for you, your kids, or your grandkids.
Go outside! See the leaves as they dance, the stars as they sparkle, and the world as it quiets, and thank God for it all!
God, we know your beauty is everywhere. There is so much to be thankful for, how could we even start? Open our eyes this month to your works and your people. Help us expand our thankfulness as we learn to praise you more and more. Clear the fears, doubts, and anger that stops us from seeing the world as you created it. Thank you God for this beautiful and wonderful life you have given us. In Jesus name, Amen.
If you haven’t given your life to God, or maybe you have felt a stirring but haven’t acted, God is always there for you. He waits at the door to your heart. Open it. Loosen the fear. Life won’t be without hardship, and doubts will come, but God is bigger and SO much better. We pray with you today that God draws you near and helps you see all that He has created you to be. We would love to hear from you below in the comments, on our Facebook page, or at churchthatmatters.com/connect .
