Category: Giving Thanks & Praise to God

In Everything Give Thanks

Expected to get back from an errand in time to see the news
But car wouldn’t start leaving me stuck unexpectedly
With the windows rolled down and inside exposed
I could have gotten upset, but I found reasons to give God thanks
As it could have been at night or in inclement weather
But it was on a sunny warm day, and I was surrounded by folk I knew
And in a familiar area and on a bus line
So, instead of being disappointed, i’m being thankful.
Like the Bible says, in everything give thanks (1 Thessalonians 5:18)

God Is Real

Your great works and deep compassion have extended decades beyond of when I initially asked You to help me. After I asked if you did exist, if You were real, then would You please help me out of this terrible mess. Shortly thereafter, You proved to me You were real. The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (Exodus 6:3) and the father of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is real (Ephesians 1:3).

Every time I’ve needed Your help, You came. Many times a You blessed beyond what I asked. You have proven that You are not only real, but a You are great and compassionate.

Give God Some Honor

“Give me some honor”
I heard the voice of God say
Why did He have to tell me anyway?
For all He’s done, I owe Him much praise

As I was doing some decorating
I started contemplating
Should I hang this picture that has Godly sayings?
I decided no need to and as I started to put the picture away
I heard God say
Give me some honor

Give God some honor
If it wasn’t for a Him, my house wouldn’t be
He’s the one who supplied all my wants and needs
Not display a picture honoring God? how dare me

I had a moment of arrogance regrettably
But God is forgiving thankfully
In the future He shouldn’t have to remind me
As in whatever I do, let it be in God’s glory (1 Corinthians 10:31).
