Here we are, another Thursday has found its way into our week and I thought to myself, why not have a Thankful Thursday?! it was just the excuse I needed as I have so wanted to jump on and say “hello” to you all! 😍🤗 I’ve had Psalm 34:8 going through my mind today as it says, “O taste and see that the Lord is good: BLESSED is the man that trusteth in Him.” I have both tasted and seen the goodness of the Lord!! The blessings He pours on those who fear Him are present in every single moment of every day! His goodness has left me wanting no good thing. I love how the following verse promises, “there is NO WANT to them that fear Him”!! The Lord God alone satisfies the longing soul and the hungry soul He fills with good things(Ps 107:9). My friends, He is trustworthy. May you TASTE & SEE His goodness in every single way today!! And now, for my Thankful Thursday top 5 Thanksgivings:
- I am thankful for taste! 😉 Yes, I am thankful for the physical tastebuds I’ve been given that allow me to taste delicious food BUT today I am reffering to the spiritual tastebuds that have allowed me to taste the goodness of the Lord. “now that you have tasted that the Lord is good.” 1Peter 2:3 🙌🏻
- I am thankful for my family! Phew, can’t imagine where I would be withouth them. The daily encouragement, exhortation, love, and accoutibilty they give is priceless! As I consider the blessing of being a part of a family, I am reminded of Colossians 3 as it say, “Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.”
- I am thankful that we have been given ALL THINGS that pertian to life and godliness! What a promise. ♥️ “Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue” 2 Peter 1:2-3
- I am thankful that our confidence is in The Lord alone! Psalm 65:5 says, “… O God of our salvation; who art the confidence of all the ends of the earth..” and in Proverbs 3:26 we are told “For the LORD shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.”
- I am thankful for Snail Mail and the sweet encourgement that finds its way to my post office box and the ability to send them off! What a blessing postal surprises are. 💝💌 “Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.” 1 Thes 5:11
