God’s Unfailing Faithfulness

Isaiah 12:2-4
 The Message (MSG)
2"Yes, indeed—God is my salvation.
I trust, I won't be afraid.
God—yes God!—is my strength and song,
best of all, my salvation!"
 
 3-4Joyfully you'll pull up buckets of water
from the wells of salvation.
And as you do it, you'll say,
"Give thanks to God.
Call out his name.
Ask him anything!
Shout to the nations, tell them what he's done,
spread the news of his great reputation!
 
Today is a wonderful time to praise God for His unfailing faithfulness to His Word.  It is startling sometimes to see all God is free to do in our lives when we choose to be thankful for all He is to us.  I’ve seen  very difficult situations turn around, bodies healed and relationships restored as believers chose life by having an attitude of genuine thankfulness.  God never told us to give thanks for the calamities and difficulties.  He said “in all things give thanks.  There is a big difference. 
 A very wise teacher once advised me to do the following each time I faced  a seemingly impossible situation. I was encouraged to make a list of the many wonderful things God has done already.  What an attitude adjustor that is.  It lifts up every time.
 Today is also a great time to expect the fulfillment of those promises Father gave us personally from His Word.  They are His promises for us to apply in and to our lives.  Thanksgiving opens our receptivity and expectation. 
 All praise, thanks and honor to our glorious Lord.  He truly is...more than enough!
 In the awesome love of Jesus,
