This Thanksgiving; I’m greatly blessed.
The Father gave the gift of His Son.
I’m a daily recipient of His grace.
Grateful; I offer thanksgiving and praise.
“Through Him then, let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that give thanks to His name. And do not neglect doing good and sharing, for with such sacrifices God is pleased (Hebrews 13:15-16 NASB).”
Jesus, the Son; God is well-pleased (Matthew 3:17). He is our Shepherd.
“Now the God of peace, who brought up from the dead the great Shepherd of the sheep through the blood of the eternal covenant, even Jesus our Lord, equip you in every good thing to do His will, working in us that which is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen (Hebrews 13:20-21 NASB).”
Jesus… Thank You for Your leading, provision and protection.
This Thanksgiving; I’m thankful for the example and edification of faithful under-shepherd, Pastor Eddie Fuller.
“Therefore, I exhort the elders among you, as your fellow elder and witness of the sufferings of Christ, and a partaker also of the glory that is to be revealed, shepherd the flock of God among you, exercising oversight not under compulsion, but voluntarily, according to the will of God; and not for sordid gain, but with eagerness; nor yet as lording it over those allotted to your charge, but proving to be examples to the flock. And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the unfading crown of glory (1 Peter 5:1-4 NASB).”
