GOD HAS BEEN SO GOOD

Today we give God all the praise, glory, honor and adoration because He has been so good to us. Yes, He has been mighty good to us, good to our families, to our friends and loved ones, He is indeed a faithful Father. The fact that we made it to the annual thanksgiving for the year 2020 is a testament of His goodness and faithfulness.

 

“It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High:” – Psalms 92:1 (KJV)

 

The Psalmist states very clearly that it is a good thing to give thanks, and so thanksgiving is scriptural. You know the more you think about this God, the more you engage in thanksgiving. When you think of how mindful He is of you, when you think about how He saved you, how He fights your battles, both seen and unseen, you will indeed bless His Holy name. Don’t ever for one second think that it is of your doing that you are still alive, No, it is of His mercies that we are not consumed (Lamentations 3:22).

 

2020 was a year that truly put a lot of things in perspective. We learnt to differentiate between the essentials and the non-essentials, and thanksgiving is an essential part of life. This is why thanksgiving must become a lifestyle. Beyond the service today, makeup your mind to be a man/woman of thanksgiving. Wake up in the morning and thank this magnificent God for His goodness and mercies; be intentional about it because He deserves it.

 

I declare the blessings of God over your life today in the name of Jesus’ Amen.

 

Maranatha!
