All glory, honor, praise and thanksgiving to the Great Shepherd! "For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting, and His truth endures to all generations." (Psalm 100:5)

As we stand on the threshold of a new year, we know not what the future holds, but we can trust the Lord our God, with all our heart, for He has promised never to leave us nor forsake us. The Overseer of our souls is all knowing, all wise, all powerful. No one or anything can pluck us out of His hand. We are the sheep of His pasture and He will direct our steps in His will and purpose, as we trust and obey His voice. In His care, we need not fear. Nothing shall separate us from His love. Like His servant David, we too can say, "Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever." (Psalm 23:6)

Amen.

O Come Let Us Adore Him

Jesus alone is worthy of the honor, the glory and the praise. O come let us adore Him!

A Shepherd's Heart

King David, (a shepherd of sheep before God called him to shepherd His people Israel,) desired greatly to show the kindness of God to the remnant of the house of Saul. Having made an inquiry, he sent for and extended great mercy to Mephibosheth, son of Jonathan, the son of Saul. As Mephibosheth, (who was lame in both his feet,) fell on his face and prostrated himself before David in fear, David assured him with these words: "Do not fear, for I will surely show you kindness for Jonathan your father's sake and will restore to you all the land of Saul your grandfather and you shall eat bread at my table continually." David also instructed Ziba, a servant of the house of Saul to work the land with his (Ziba's) sons and servants and bring in the harvest on behalf of Mephibosheth."
(2 Samuel Chapter 9)

How much more did our gracious and merciful God do for us when He sent His only Begotten Son into the world, not to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. Jesus is the mediator of a new covenant and restores us to right standing before God. "For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him." (2 Corinthians 5:21).

The gospel is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believes. Praise God who has redeemed us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and made us partakers of His divine nature, and all that He has prepared for us now and in the life to come, everlasting. He has given His church the ministry of reconciliation. O, how He loves the world and is willing that none shall perish.

Jesus, upon seeing the multitudes weary and scattered abroad, like sheep without a shepherd, was moved with compassion and said to His disciples, "The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest." (Matthew 9:36-38)

The heart of our Great Shepherd is loving and forgiving, full of mercy and compassion, full of kindness and truth. A heart that judges righteously; a heart that wants His lost sheep to come home; a heart that wants both the young and grown sheep tended to and fed with His teachings. A heart that desires the reaping of His harvest to be done and His house to be filled.

Be Still and Know...

Almighty God is awesome in all His works. His wisdom and power are infinite and He rules over all. "Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!" (Psalm 46:10)

Worthy is the Lamb!

Thanksgiving Greetings

What a blessing! To have sweet fellowship with God, family and friends. Give thanks with a grateful heart; the Lord is good and His mercy endureth forever! Amen.

The Lord is good to all, and His tender mercies are over all His works. (Psalm 145:9)

Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name. For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting, and His truth endures to all generations. (Psalm 100:4 & 5)

It is good to give thanks to the Lord, and to sing praises to Your name, O Most High; to declare Your lovingkindness in the morning, and Your faithfulness every night. (Psalm 92:1 & 2)

It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not, they are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. (Lamentations 3:22-23)

In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. (1 Thessalonians 5:18)

I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. (Psalm 27:13)

Sing to the Lord with thanksgiving; sing praises on the harp to our God, who covers the heavens with clouds, who prepares rain for the earth, who makes grass to grow on the mountains. He gives to the beast its food, and to the young ravens that cry. (Psalm 147:7-9)

Now may He who supplies seed to the sower, and bread for food, supply and multiply the seed you have sown and increase the fruits of your righteousness, while you are enriched in everything for all liberality, which causes thanksgiving through us to God. (2 Corinthians 9:10 & 11)

And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms, hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord, giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. (Ephesians 5:18-20)

And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him. (Colossians 3:17)

Be Ye Thankful

Blessed to Be a Blessing & A Prayer of Thanksgiving

True Happiness

Thanks be to God for a Savior! True happiness is to know Him who has saved us and reconciled us to Himself through Christ. To know Him is to love Him and to keep His commandments. We live in troublesome times, but we have an anchor like no other. Take comfort in these words: 

"The Lord is exalted, for He dwells on high; He has filled Zion with justice and righteousness, wisdom and knowledge will be the stability of your times, and the strength of salvation; the fear of the Lord is His treasure." (Isaiah 33:5 & 6)

"Happy is the man who is always reverent, but he who hardens his heart will fall into calamity." (Proverbs 28:14)

"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." (Romans 15:13)

"Happy are the people whose God is the Lord!" (Psalm 144:15)

To God be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
