Thirsty for Thankfulness: Day #20

          Thirsty for Thankfulness: Day #20

Thankful for God's Faithfulness

We each have a great deal of evidence in our own lives that prove that God is God. He is a faithful God, and He shows this faithfulness each and every day. 

Our routine: 
  • Sit down together. 
  • Enjoy the cup of blessing that can be provided by a good dose of Scripture. 
  • Stay and linger with our Creator as we reflect on our blessings as revealed in the words we read each day. 
  • Close with words of prayer to help deepen our relationship with Almighty God.
Scripture: 


Deuteronomy 7:9
"Know therefore that the LORD your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commands."

Deuteronomy 31:6
"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you."

Psalm 25:8-10
"Good and upright is the LORD;
therefore he instructs sinners in his ways.
He guides the humble in what is right 
and teaches them his way. 
All the ways of the LORD are loving and faithful
towards those who keep the demands of his covenant."

Isaiah 25: 1
"LORD, you are my God; 
I will exalt you and praise your name, 
for in perfect faithfulness you have done wonderful things, 
things planned long ago."

Reflection: 
God is faithful. He does what He promises. 
His Word reveals His character and His promises. 
Our lives reflect God's faithfulness. 
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, We praise You for Your Faithfulness. God, thank You for the path You have forged in our lives. Thank You for the unmistakable mark You have left in each of our lives. Help us to take time each day to reflect on Your work and Your faithfulness in our lives. In Jesus' Name. Amen.

Thirsty for Thankfulness: Introduction

Thirsty for Thankfulness: 30 Days of Counting Blessings We all can recognize the physical signs of being thirsty. When we have that dry feeling in our mouths, we know, we just know , that our bodies need to replenish our water supply by drinking liquids. If we don't do this, we may soon be suffering other consequences, such as feeling lightheaded. A lack of liquids can affect us mentally, with us feeling confused or a little "foggy," and emotionally, with us feeling either anxious or a more than a little "cranky."  While we have these recognizable issues when we are physically thirsty, are we able to recognize any symptoms of being spiritually thirsty?  I have experienced a thirsty spirit. The Holy Spirit within me has been quenched by my lack of attention to my Maker.  Symptoms? Much like a thirsty body, my thirsty spirit was mentally confused and unfocused, and emotionally irritable and cranky.  What can we do about this thirst in our spirits? Over the next 30...

Thirsty for Thankfulness: Day #1

  Thirsty for Thankfulness: Day #1 We have recognized that we are thirsty for some thankfulness in our lives. Now let's see what a difference purposefully satisfying our souls with Scripture can do.  We are going to approach  each of the next 30 days as if we have arranged for a coffee date with a friend.  We will sit down together.  We will enjoy the cup of blessing that can be provided by a good dose of Scripture.   We will stay and linger with our Creator as we reflect on our blessings as revealed in the words we read each day.  We will close with words of prayer to help deepen our relationship with Almighty God. Scripture:  Psalm 63:1-5 a psalm of David You, God, are my God, earnestly I seek you;  I thirst for you, my whole being longs for you,  in a dry and parched land where there is no water.  I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory. Because your love is better than life, my lips glorify you. I ...

  Thirsty for Thankfulness: Day #2 Welcome back to Day #2! Hopefully, we will establish such a routine of gratitude that we will just continue meeting with God each day long after the 30 days in order to celebrate our blessings.  Keep in mind the routine we are starting to establish (just like sitting down to coffee with a close friend): We will sit down together.  We will enjoy the cup of blessing that can be provided by a good dose of  Scripture.   We will stay and linger with our Creator as we  reflect  on our blessings as revealed in the words we read each day.  We will close with words of  prayer  to help deepen our relationship with Almighty God. Scripture:  I Chronicles 16:8-11 "Give praise to the LORD, proclaim his name; make known among the nations what he has done. Sing to him, sing praise to him; tell of his wonderful acts. Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice. Look to the LORD and his...
