Good Morning all,
How many times yesterday did each one of us give the Lord thanks for our day? How often did we take time to ask the Lord for help, direction and guidance? Throughout our day, the Lord revealed Himself to us in great and mighty way as well as in little, seemingly insignificant manners.
In reality, it is the little things we should give thanks and honor to the Lord Jesus Christ each day. For blessings, as curses, are just as imperative when they are small as when they are large. Comparatively speaking, it is not the catastrophic events that enter a person’s life that causes them to utterly crumble, but rather it is the small…little sins and/or situations that continue in our life that hurt our homes and churches. It is the little things that go un-noticed in business that take root and finally devastated the company.
Blessings, under the same examination are just as effective. It is the little blessings in our lives that go unseen and unnoticed that have the greatest impact on our life and those around us. A blue sky, a full moon, a rising or setting sun, the dry roads to drive upon and a wet ground grow the crop…all of these things most people do not give a second thought; we carry on and just skip over the little things that make the day God provided. But the Bible tells us ‘in everything give thanks’, that means EVERYTHING, not just large things, but everything, not just the miraculous moments, but the common contributions as well.
As we begin to evaluate yesterday, November came to an end. Let us open the door of December, the final month of 2009, and not only give thanks for the blessings that cannot be avoided, but also to the ones that we usually take for granted. For therein are more gifts of grace at the Lord’s disposal; if we will be thankful for that which is before us now. “…The LORD is able to give thee much more than this. II Chronicles 25:9”.
There are many more blessings the Lord is able to give, amazing and wonderful, as well as quiet and plain blessings that when placed together, grants us the day the Lord has made for His creation.
Have a wonderful day.
Til the Shout,
