EVERY day should be a day of thanksgiving wherever you are in the world! Read today’s edition of FaithWalk: Courage for the Journey.
Read Carefully!
“Let them sacrifice thank offerings and tell of his works with songs of joy.
Let them offer sacrifices of thanksgiving and sing joyfully about his glorious acts.’”
(Psalm 107:22 ESV)
|
Today, millions of Americans will have endured congested highways and crowded airports to enter homesteads filled with the aroma of freshly baked delights. A sense of acceptance and belonging reigns supreme as all sit down to enjoy bountiful meals. Some families will be fawning over the newly born family members. Seniors will be praised for looking so good. Stories of crazy incidents will erupt in hilarious laughter. Then, the room falls silent as a thanksgiving prayer is lifted to God. At this moment we honor our Creator, Sustainer and Savior. Several scriptures, however, use a phrase revealing an exceedingly deep meaning. They speak of offering “sacrifices of thanksgiving.” What could that be? Give more money? Stop bad habits? Go to church? Perhaps the Apostle Paul states it best when he wrote these words to the Roman believers: “I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.” (Romans 12:1-2). What does this mean? God, who created us by and for Himself desires just that—Us! Does that sound like a prison sentence? Fact is, everyone offers themselves sacrificially to someone or something. For instance, many are slaves to money that leaves them penniless at the grave. People live passionately for pleasure that dissipates like the morning fog. Then, there are the wise who, like Isaiah, say to our Lord who sacrificed His life for our salvation, “Here am I. Send me!” In other words, I gladly sacrifice the empty promises of this world to swim in the river of your sovereign purpose for my life. No one can escape sacrifice. The question faced by all is this: To whom and for what will you sacrifice your life. If you choose God, then it is a “sacrifice of thanksgiving” because your earthly service on the “River of Sovereignty” will flow with you into eternity. A Thanksgiving Prayer “Dear God, all that I have and am, comes from You. I want to flow with the river of Your Sovereign plan for my life. My sacrifice of thanksgiving is to give myself to you, my Creator, my Savior and my Lord. I pray in Jesus’ name, Amen.” Always remember, Immanuel: God is with us! Visit us at faithwalk.org |
