The last few day I have been awed by the senses God has given us to enjoy each thing he has created. The first day of thankfulness I was so grateful for the smells of fall. The second day I was thankful for the fact that I didn’t need technology to do things like speak for me. The third day I was thankful for being able to see the colors God created around me and in general the colors of fall. The 4th day I am thankful for the fact that I have food to eat but even further than that I can taste it. Yet another sense God gave to us to enjoy the things around me. The 5th day of thankfulness I was thankful for the sound of my children though sometimes extremely loud I am thankful that I can even hear them and listen to their squeals and screams.
Today my list asks me what in Nature I am thankful for? This is hard to narrow down, because again I marvel in Gods creation. How even the deer grazing in the corn field stubble down the road brings God glory. The wind blowing and doing its wind thing is declaring Gods glory. All these things in nature point to God and his handy work when he created them. So just one thing I am thankful for is hard to narrow down. I am thankful for the forces of nature that God orchestrates each day. How his marvelous hands created the beauty that we see each day. He created the bird with his song, the tree with his dance. He created all of it. I just marvel in his marvelous creation today. The smell of fall, the fact we even have the different seasons. The way the earth changes with the temperature changes. If I was in charge of the weather I would keep it about 65 or 70 degrees with a light breeze and zero humidity. But thank goodness I am not God, because there would be an outrageous amount of flies and mosquito’s all the time. There would be no time of killing off the leaves to produce new ones. The freshness of spring would not come. I am glad God gives us the seasons even though winter in so dreary.
So take a walk out side today and soak in the beauty of Gods creation, the way nature declares the Glory of the Lord, And hey declare His Glory yourself.
Today’s thankfulness scripture is Philemon 1:4 I always thank my God as I remember you in my prayers.
So how can I pray for you this month as we go through this thankfulness journey? What things in your life do you need prayer for?
I could really use prayer in my consistency in my personal walk with the Lord. I want to pray in every situation like yesterdays verse talked about. I want to go to God first in my struggles with my marriage and family. The only way to receive wisdom is to seek it out in scripture.
I want to pray for you. Please email me if you have a specific prayer request I can add to my prayer wall. jthiessen1983@gmail.com
Lets pray for each other this month and thank God as we remember each other in prayer.
