All right well after a very busy week I realized I'd forgotten to post last week's thankful verses for November so I'll post a couple of extra verses this week, hopefully that's an alternative everyone can live with. =)
1 Chronicles 16:35
"Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; his love endures forever."
I love this verse. Give thanks to the Lord, that means no matter what is going on give thanks! That's not always an easy thing to do. Then the next part- for He is good, how many times in my life have I questioned God's goodness because of tough circumstances in my life? How could God allow this? Why is God letting me go through this? If He's a loving God... But over and over again in every situation in my life and in every story in the Bible the facts speak for themselves, God is good. And the last little bit- his love endures forever, isn't that great? No matter how much we question or complain God still loves us and He always will.
1 Chronicles 16:41
"With them were Heman and Jeduthun and the rest of those chosen and designated by name to give thanks to the Lord, 'for his love endures forever'."
Okay I have no idea who Heman and Jeduthun are but here's why I posted this verse, "the rest of those chosen and designated by name to give thanks to the Lord", I've never quite thought of it this way but that's us too! As believers God has called us by name to Himself and we are told to give Him thanks because His love endures forever.
1 Corinthians 1:4
"I always thank my God for you because of his grace given you in Christ Jesus."
Today thank God for someone in your life. And better yet, tell them you're thanking God for them.
1 Corinthians 15:57
"But thanks be to God! He gives us victory through our Lord Jesus Christ."
