Jesus Calling: November 27

Let thankfulness rule in your heart. As you thank Me for blessings in your life, a marvelous thing happens. It is as if scales fall off your eyes, enabling you to see more and more of My glorious riches. With your eyes thus opened, you can help yourself to whatever you need from My treasure house. Each time you receive one of My golden gifts, let your thankfulness sing out praises to My Name. "Hallelujahs" are the language of heaven, and they can become the language of your heart.
     A life of praise and thankfulness becomes a life filled with miracles. Instead of trying to be in control, you focus on Me and what I am doing. This is the power of praise: centering your entire being in Me. This is how I created you to live, for I made you in My own image. Enjoy the abundant life by overflowing with praise and thankfulness. 

Colossians 3:15
English Standard Version
And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful.

Acts 9:18
English Standard Version
And immediately something like scales fell from his eyes, and he regained his sight. Then he rose and was baptized.

Revelation 19:3-6
English Standard Version

³ Once more they cried out,“Hallelujah!
The smoke from her goes up forever and ever.”

⁴ And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who was seated on the throne, saying, “Amen. Hallelujah!” ⁵ And from the throne came a voice saying,

“Praise our God,
    all you his servants,
you who fear him,
    small and great.”

⁶ Then I heard what seemed to be the voice of a great multitude, like the roar of many waters and like the sound of mighty peals of thunder, crying out,

“Hallelujah!
For the Lord our God
    the Almighty reigns.

 
Psalm 100:4-5
English Standard Version

⁴ Enter his gates with thanksgiving,
    and his courts with praise!
    Give thanks to him; bless his name!

⁵ For the Lord is good;
    his steadfast love endures forever,
    and his faithfulness to all generations.

My Prayer
Lord, you are good and for what you give me, I am most thankful. Thank you for Bruce and his friendship and coming over to play games with Pamela and I. Thank you for the home project I could work on, the home you have provided and the chance to learn how to do something, like repair rot, even though it is something I continue to not understand well and I have little confidence in. Thank you for Pamela having a day to just sew. Thank you for the friends Derek has as well as Tyson. Thank you for Megan's job. Thank you for providing us what we need. Thank you for giving me a job and setting a priority to give you the tithe I can now give the church. Help me Lord each day to thank you more and more for what you provide, good or bad. Everything I have is because of You and this needs to be acknowledge more in my life.
