thankful

With Thanksgiving coming up, we all have something to recognize and to be thankful for.  The first things we think about are our families, health, a bed to sleep in and food to eat.  These of course are a very intricate part of our lives and needed to but to be thankful for the things we don’t have yet is another level of showing God that you trust Him and that your faith is binding in Him.  It pleases Him to know that we have that faith in Him.  To be able to pray and believe what we will receive and thank Him in the process before seeing it happen.

This Thanksgiving, with all that we are thankful for, let it be known that we have that already. We have the health, our families, good job, etc.  It’s what has already been done and not what God is about to do.  It may not be in your everyday routine to thank God after you ask Him for the desires of your heart but it is definitely a requirement to do so to let Him know that He is in control and you trust that He will provide in every way.

This holiday, make sure you check out Mark 11:24.  I think it fits perfectly for continuing to make changes in your life and has purpose.  Also, work on forgiving while praying so that God can continue to work with you.
Happy Thanksgiving!
