Psalm 100: 2 - "Enter His gates with thanksgiving"
Since God is God of all the universe, in control of everything, creator of it ALL; then every area, situation, church, house, car, building, etc. I enter - belongs to Him; so I am entering HIS gates with what? Am I always thankful? Do I show others with how I act/respond that I have a joyous and thankful heart, due to my salvation in Christ? The answer is NO!
Yes, we are sinners, probably incapable of showing 100% thankfulness.
"Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect" (Matthew 5:48).
This verse always speaks to me that God is watching our effort. The results will come with more practice, but our effort to improve must be there.This is one area of my life that I really need to improve. Deep-down, I am so thankful for everything my relationship with Christ brings me. I just do not show it, especially to non-believers. I think my personal testimony might be more impactful if I would allow my joyous and thankful heart to show.
About Me
- Rich
- I am a sinner saved by God's grace. I, like most people, find myself scrambling to make time for God. I decided to start a blog after reading "Too Busy Not To Pray", by Bill Hybels. This is the 3rd time I read this book, but the 1st time it made a difference. I need to "slow down" and spend time with my Creator. Mr. Hybels recommends journaling, which I tried in the past. I thought I would commit to creating a blog as the method of journaling. My intentions were to blog every day, but then life happened. I need to do better.
