THANKSGIVING< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>Luke 17: 11-19

All of His commands are directionally direct for nothing, but to carefully obey. Have you in anyway been questioning any of the direction in His command? Have you at any point in time refused to move in His direction because it does not seem right to you? Questioning the command of God is taking a position that is set for self-destruction. Answering to His command whether it seems right or not is positioning you for miracle. Miracles are not accidents; miracles are a direct move of the hand of God over every imaginable and unimaginable situation for His name to be glorified. To be alive and able to set eyes on this writing is a miracle and there is no miracle that is small enough not to acknowledge God with thanksgiving. Glory goes to God for His goodness and mercy. The Ten Lepers met Jesus on His way to Jerusalem. Luke 17:13, ÒAnd they lifted up their voice and said, ÒJesus, Master, have mercy on us! 14 So when He saw them, He said to them, ÒGo and show yourselves to the priests.Ó And so it was that as they went, they were cleansed.ÓÓ When the lepers saw Jesus they were expecting an instant healing, as usual, in the miracles of Jesus. He heard them and responded with a directional command and asked them to go and show themselves to the priests. The lepers did not question JesusÕ direction neither did they hold back in doubt as they were  directed by Jesus. The Bible said that as they went, they were cleansed. The lepers did not receive healing before obedience; it was after obedience that their miracle answered for them. Healing comes in different places, at different times and under different condition. The Ten LepersÕ healing took place in a certain village after carefully following directions in the command of Jesus. Have you be looking up to Him for your healing? Have you been lifting your voice to Him and no answer? Have you been saying Master have mercy? There could be a need for you to consider self-search in the area of being obedience to His command. As a result of the cleansing, just one went back for thanksgiving. A proverb says ÒA child that knows how to give thanks for the miracle of yesterday is set for another miracleÓ Your own situation might only need a consistent and continuous thanks giving for all that He has done so that the one He is doing will be affected and you will be set for the one that He will do. Thank Him before; during and after every blessing it is a blessing to be alive today! Have you thanked Him enough today? Give a heart full of thanksgiving, not a mouthful of thanksgiving.
