2 Corinthians 9:15
Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.
Psalms 62:6-7
He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved. In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
Unspeakable: that can not be uttered or expressed.
Thankful: impressed with a sense of kindness received, and ready to acknowledge it.
That unspeakable gift is the greatest gift I've ever received. Jesus is indescribable, incomprehensible. His love and perseverance overwhelms me. How often do we walk through life and not even acknowledge him and all he's done? All he is doing? And all he's going to do? He is a real God, a working God and a gracious God..he doesn't have to be but he always is. I'm guilty to say I don't acknowledge his kindness towards me like I should! I want to just take a minute and thank Him for being:
1. My rock--I can stand because what I'm standing on is firm. How sweet a foundation that's anchored in the Lord! On Christ the solid rock I stand ALL other ground is sinking sand!
2. My salvation--preacher Milton Taylor said Sunday morning, "it's Jesus or Hell." Only Jesus could save me! Only Jesus could change me! Only Jesus could reconcile me to God!
3. My defense--he's got my back and he's never lost a battle! Whatever I have to face I'm so thankful I've got God on my side.
4. My glory--the only good in me is Him. He's worthy to be praised.
5. My strength--when I'm weak it doesn't change him..he's still as strong as ever.
6. My refuge--he holds the world in his hand yet he also holds me. When I need rest, help, or protection I can run to him. He's always there.
Don't forget to take a while and acknowledge Him and how good He is! Happy thanksgiving!!
