Did you notice the Text does not deny that other gods exist? There is an abundance of gods all around us. Many gods, but they are ALL little g gods. NONE of them compare, none of them remotely approach within an eternity of comparison to The GOD of the Bible. The One and Only GOD who is worthy of your trust and mine!
And added to that, His loving devotion to His children never ends!
That’s worth thinking about today, don’t you think?
It’s been a fast November. I have a regret. I didn’t do my usual November thirty days of thanks and now The Thursday is almost here. So from our home to yours.
I celebrated today with my Office Family. I cannot thank Father GOD enough for His provision and favor upon us when He set me in place at Holt & Associates. We are grateful.
When you gather in your respective places on Thursday, I hope your coming together will not be about just food and feasting; please sprinkle the day with generous helpings of thanks. I long for us, The Body of Christ, to experience celebrations with family and friends that are more than just eating holiday foods, laughter, family shenanigans, and afternoon naps. I’m not frowning on those things — not at all! Let’s do all that but can we go deeper? Can we have prayer and worship too? Can we sing songs together? Can we encourage one another with the Joy of The LORD – recounting what He has done all year for us? In other words, can we just flat-out GIVE THANKS? Lots of thanks for HE surely deserves it!
Nehemiah 8:10 New Living Translation 10 And Nehemiah continued, “Go and celebrate with a feast of rich foods and sweet drinks, and share gifts of food with people who have nothing prepared. This is a sacred day before our Lord. Don’t be dejected and sad, for the joy of the Lord is your strength!”LINK
Tomorrow, LORD willing, we will set face and foot onto a new calendar page — December 2023.
What will we see, what will we walk through in December 2023? Not one of us knows.
BUT GOD.
Two of the most beautiful words ever!
BUT GOD!
I am giving thanks for BUT GOD.
This could have happened, this would have happened, this did happen BUT GOD!
Do you know what I mean?
Because if you do, you are giving thanks for BUT GOD too!
Pray your way through December 2023.
Because HE came & IS coming again, Kathie Whitestone Thompson
We are glad you are here; stay a while, look around, and be encouraged. We estimate there to be over 3,000 posts here at The White Stone Blog. Please know my hope is ALWAYS to help and NEVER harm. I have voiced many opinions and thoughts here since 2007 and by now I MAY NOT EVEN AGREE with all of them and some of my grammar and punctuation likely needs editing. But this is changeless: JESUS is our ONLY Savior and Hope. Do you KNOW Him?
