Devotional Moments on Thanksgiving Day

What a wonderful time to share a little time in God’s Word with your family and friends on Thanksgiving. Some folks would like to do this; but do not know where to begin. Here is a suggestion that you are welcome to use. Psalm 100 is a great portion to read. An outline of this Psalm includes the following:

1. Our adoration (100:1)

2. Our attitude (100:2)

3. Our assurance (100:3)

4. Our appreciation (100:4)

5. Our allegiance (100:5)

T is for my thankfulness, the Lord is good to me.

H is for my Home in Heaven, with Him I’ll ever be.

A is for my attitude, may I be filled with praise.

N is for my new life, my song of joy I’ll raise.

K is for my kindness, to the dear folks that I know.

S is for my service, by my life the dear Lord show.

G is for my graciousness, I need Him every hour.

I is for my instruction, I want to know His power.

V is for my victory, Christ wins the final war.

I is for my intentions, He’s the One that I adore.

N is for my nearness, to the Lord would I daily live.

G is for my glory, to God in Heaven I gladly give.

Following this, it would be great to give your family and friends the opportunity to share some things for which they are thankful.

I read of His great glory and see His wondrous power, So I can face the future, trusting Jesus every hour.   Blessed Jesus, my dear Savior, I love […]

Faith is knowing my Father and depending so fully upon Him that I am able to trust when I cannot see, believe when I cannot understand, and obey when the situation doesn’t make sense to me.
