Word of Encouragement for Every New Day ~ 22 Mar 2008

Easter is one of my favorite holidays because it makes me remember what Christ did for us on the cross. Today’s word of encouragement is simply taking the time to reflect and give thanks. I don’t like dwelling on the past, because if we dwell too much in the past we can’t move on and see the purpose God has for us ahead. But when we reflect and give thanks, it is a way for us to humble ourselves and realize what God has done in our lives. From our careers, to our marriages, to God blessing us with children, grand children, and having food on our tables daily without fail, there is so much to be thankful for. Some people don’t even have the opportunity to get clean water and food daily. I wonder how often we expect and demand that God would provide for us. Do we treat God merely as a supermarket? Expecting God to provide everything for us, and if we don’t get it, we question Him, “Don’t I deserve this God, what is taking so long?” God thank You for suffering on the cross for us, for our sins. Thank You Lord for everything, today we honor, praise, and worship Your name alone. Hebrews 12:28 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe. © Mar 2008 Shaun Lee. www.everynation.org.sg archive: www.shauntzen.blogspot.com
