12 Days Of Thanksgiving Devotional. Day 2:

Today, let us take a moment to breath in the goodness of the Lord’s GRACE. 2 Corinthians 9:14 – 15 shares: they will pray for you with deep affection because of the overflowing grace God has given to you. Thank God for this gift too wonderful for words! Thank God for the grace, or good will, loving-kindness and favor coming from God, as shared by the Strong’s concordance.

Today, think of all the ways the Lord has extended His Holy influence upon your life by turning you to Christ, keeping and strengthening you. What are all the ways the Lord has increased your faith, knowledge, affection and kindness? Jot down whatever comes to mind, and then take each blessing before the Lord with thanks.

Also, think even of those moments of challenge, trial and sorrow. How did your faith grow? 1 Thessalonians exhorts to be thankful in all circumstances. The grace extended during our hardships and wrestling, is perhaps the deepest and vastest. Thank and praise the Lord for seeing you through and bringing you through the depths to more tangibly experience and taste the Grace that is too wonderful for words. Give thanks and praises to the Lord because HE IS GOOD and His faithful love, mercy and grace endures forever!

12 Days Of Thanksgiving Devotional Day 1:

As Thanksgiving Day approaches many are pondering all they are grateful and thankful for. Both Thanksgiving and thankful hashtags will be attached to millions of images for the social media to peruse. But there is one image I pray is at the forefront of many of our minds as we approach Thanksgiving: Christ, the Savior of the world, dying for you and me, creating a way. A way for us to not only lay hold of the promise of Heaven after our earthly journey is over, but a way for us to usher in God’s Kingdom here on earth.

Because of Jesus Christ’s sacrifice, we certainly can proclaim the greatness of the Lord and let the WHOLE WORLD know what He has done! In fact, be challenged to take a moment today and reflect on ALL the Lord has done in your life. Once you’ve spent a few minutes there, take a few more minutes to ponder how what He has done in YOUR life had a positive impact on the lives of those around you.

Then, share with others and live 1 Chronicles 16:8 out, letting your whole world know what He has done. Finally, go to the Lord with praises and prayer. Seeking nothing other than to let Him know how thankful you are for all He is done, all He is doing, and all He will do – with an alert mind and a thankful heart!
