HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Psalm 95

Come, let us sing for JOY to the Lord;
let us shout aloud to the ROCK of our salvation.
Let us come before him with THANKSGIVING
and extol him with music and song.

For the Lord is the GREAT God,
the great King above all gods.
In his hand are the depths of the earth,
and the mountain peaks belong to him.
The sea is his, for he made it,
and his hands formed the dry land.

Come, let us bow down in worship,
let us kneel before the Lord our Maker;
for HE IS OUR GOD
and we are the people of his pasture,
the flock under his care.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

I was comforted by these verses this morning. I hope they are an encouragement to you as you celebrate Thanksgiving and reflect on His incredible goodness. We serve a great God. A God who cares for us and doesn't give us what we deserve, but instead every good thing (family, friends, shelter, food, jobs). Everything that we need! He is a wondrous Creator who is using us to accomplish His purposes and bring honor to His name. Not only did he make the mountain peaks and the oceans, but he made me and all the one's I love. We belong to him and He holds us in the palms of His hands. He cares for us as a shepherd cares for his flock. And, if this BIG God can speak the world into existence, He can certainly heal. He can heal my Grandpa who is lying in a hospital bed as blood clots dissolve and He can heal my Carter who is still fighting infection. I am thankful this morning to serve a Mighty Maker. A Mighty Healer. A Mighty Provider. A Mighty SAVIOR! And, I am thankful that my greatest need has already been met. May you be filled with JOY today despite your circumstance. God is GOOD and He is at work changing us and making us more like Him!

I LOVE YOU family! I LOVE YOU friends! But, GOD LOVES YOU EVEN MORE!
