FAITH CAPSULE: God deserves praising and thanking Him.
Psalm 145
It is a great grace that the good of God has brought you this far.
It should not be taken for granted to be alive this far.
From the first day of the year to this moment is the grace of God.
God owes no one, but all owe the perfect God.
He is a caring Creator.
Psalm 150:6 admonishes all, “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.”
Indeed, everyone standing this far should praise God at every moment, not only at the breath of life.
Praising and thanking God will provoke a favorable lifting from God.
What He says to one speaks to all.
God deserves praising and thanking Him.
God is a jealous God whose attention is the antidote to jealousy.
God wants all to seek Him diligently.
One who seeks God diligently will find God.
One who does not seek God diligently will not find God.
Proverbs 7:15 encourages, “So I came out to meet you, diligently to seek your face, And I have found you.”
Thanking God is seeking God to find God.
Deuteronomy 4:29 states, “But from there you will seek the Lord your God, and you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul.”
Jeremiah 29:13 records, “And you will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.”
A thankful heart, seeking God will find God to gain and retain the presence of God.
All year long to the moment standing, the Lord God bestows upon you, how much have you extended to Him?
Ecclesiastes 3:1-2 records, “To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck what is planted.”
At this time of the year, think of living a life to glorify God.
Allow your expectations to change from material gain to walking in the ways of God.
Deuteronomy 5:33 states, “You shall walk in all the ways which the Lord your God has commanded you, that you may live and that it may be well with you, and that you may prolong your days in the land which you shall possess.”
From this moment to the coming month, walk more in the ways of God.
Thanking God by seeking Him, will no doubt fulfill desires as the year continues.
Live to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. (Matthew 6:33-34)
A better way to seek God is by praising and thanking God.
Make the moment to praise and thank God.
Prayer for today: Ask that it will be your way of life to praise and thank God every moment.
