AIGGM SPIRITUAL NOURISHMENT FOR TODAY - THE JOY OF GIVING THANKS TO OUR GOD - Embracing Grace

SPIRITUAL NOURISHMENT FOR TODAY  #129: PSALM 107:21-22 KJV.




                   THE JOY OF GIVING THANKS TO OUR GOD!

Embracing Grace




Praise the Lord! Give thanks to The Lord!



Acknowledge the Goodness of God!



All of these expressions are rooted in the Hebrew word for thanks - "todah".



Many people wait for a special occasion to give thanks.






Here in the USA,  Thursday Nov. 26th is officially Thanksgiving Day. It was originally designated as a special day to honor GOD ALMIGHTY for ALL His blessings to the Pilgrims who migrated from Europe to settle here in the USA.  Praise God indeed!



Of course, while it is a wonderful celebration if used as intended, ALL people should be THANKING GOD everyday for the blessings from God.



As we all know, 2020 has been, and continues to be an unusually challenging year.



The whole world is STILL under lockdown,  and things are getting worse. 



So, it is NO surprise if MANY are NOT in a thanksgiving mood.





But there is a joyful peace that flows when we set aside time daily to give thanks to God for ALL our blessings, big and small.


1. The entire Psalm 107 is about giving  thanks to God. This psalm reviews many of God's wonderful blessings to His nation Israel.

2. The spiritual application is for all people. We who have been blessed with the gift of salvation through Christ and the assurance of eternal life should be thanking God every day for this priceless eternal gift.

3. Additionally, we need to thank God for all our normal blessings which we often overlook: food, clothing, shelter, warmth, family, friends, our functional bodies, little moments of happiness, etc.

4. When we fail to praise God for these daily blessings, our focus drifts away from God, thereby facilitating the enemy (the devil) to cause us to become frustrated, angry, and joyless. Declare GOD'S works with rejoicing!





Beloved in Christ,  despite all the setbacks of 2020, and the uncertainties of 2021, we cannot afford to not thank God for all His daily blessings.


If you are unsure what these are, make some time today  to COUNT ALL YOUR BLESSINGS, and itemize each one on paper. You will be thankful and joyful!

Walking With Jesus: Daily Devotional - "BUT WAIT!" - Episode #1

Walking With Jesus - Daily Devotionals Friday, December 1st, 2023  Episode #1  But Wait! "Your wife Elisabeth will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John. And you will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth." - Luke 1:13-14 The Nativity Story begins with Zacharias and Elisabeth, an old couple in the Judean hills who had faithfully served GOD for years despite bearing an intense disappointment because of childlessness. They had fervently prayed earnestly for a child, but GOD hadn't yet answered, and their prayers on that subject had been marked as unanswered - or - presumably answered with a "No". As the decades passed, their prayer for a child sadly faded from their prayer lists (requests). Although faded from their prayer requests, this specific prayer always remained in their hearts and was their (true and) deepest hearts desire. It plagued their minds and weighed on their hearts and spirits heavily, and yet, they still courageousl...

CALMING THE STORMS IN YOUR LIFE - AIGGM - Embracing Grace

CALMING THE STORMS IN YOUR LIFE   ✞ Embracing Grace ✞ Written By: Pastor Stephanie Blackburn   Abiding In God's Grace Ministries Where does Jesus need to calm the storm(s) in your life? [ Yeshua Hamashiach Jesus Christ ] In Matthew 8:23-27, Matthew shows Jesus Christ’s power over the natural world. The fact Jesus could do such is a miracle! Let’s look at the verses: Jesus Calms the Storm(s) :   23 Then Jesus got into the boat and started across the lake with his disciples. 24 Suddenly, a fierce storm struck the lake, with waves breaking into the boat. But Jesus was sleeping. 25 The disciples went and woke him up, shouting, “Lord, save us! We’re going to drown!” 26 Jesus responded, “Why are you afraid? You have so little faith!” Then he got up and rebuked the wind and waves, and suddenly there was a great calm. 27 The disciples were amazed. “Who is this man?” they asked. “Even the winds and waves obey him!”   Jesus [Yeshua Hamashiach] and His disciple were crossing t...
