TODAY'S THOUGHTS AND MEDITATION:
From mankind's point of view, God takes land and life away. While from a believer's point of view, we see that God gives life, blessings and provisions! It is when we choose to study God's word and see things from God's point of view, that we can gain insight and understanding, which then helps us be thankful in all things.
In my own life, I've experienced proof that as I grow closer to the Lord in my personal relationship and walk with Him, I learn more about Him. The more I learn, the more I trust Him in every circumstance. The more I trust in Him, the more I put into practice being thankful. No matter what is happening to me or around me, there is greater joy and contentment when I practice thankfulness! And my thankfulness will never come to an end, since the Lord's faithfulness is everlasting!!!
