Thanksgiving

I was moved to write about thanksgiving today. We are moving into our next half of the year 2021. So much has happened this year, and I am grateful God has seen us through.
I believe it is vital to have a heart of thanksgiving. Have you given thanks today? There are so many things to give thanks to God. It can be your life, finances, ministry, family, work, health, and so many other reasons.
When we come into a heart of thanksgiving, God sees our heart. Sometimes, we are so easily carried away grumbling about situations in life. We forget we have a God Almighty who sees us through. Let us look at Jesus how he approach his Father with a heart of thanksgiving.

Matthew chap 14: 16-21(NIV)

As evening approached, the disciples came to him and said, “This is a remote place, and it’s already getting late. Send the crowds away, so they can go to the villages and buy themselves some food.”

Jesus replied, “They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.”

”We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered.“Bring them here to me,” he said. And he directed the people to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people. They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over. The number of those who ate was about five thousand men, besides women and children.

When I was reading this chapter, I notice Jesus gave thanks to the Father. He did not ask the Father to multiply the bread and fish to feed the disciples. Instead, He chose to give thanks for what he has.

If you want to experience the power of God in any area of your life, try thanksgiving.
Do not limit God with what you see or hear today. He is GOD.

Happy Thanksgiving dear readers! I am grateful for each one of you.
