WALK OF GRACE - My Spiritual Service of Worship
(Taken from the Walk of Grace Study by Sandra J. Mikler Davis)
November - Week 4: We have many reasons to be thankful.
- We can thank God for who He is.
- We can give thanks for all of the blessings God pours into our lives.
- Even in trials, we can be thankful because we know God will never change, and
He will keep His promise to work everything for our good. (Romans 8:28) No matter what our circumstances, it is God's will for each of us to offer Him a continual flow of thankfulness. As you go through this day, ask God to reveal to you the immeasurable blessings that are yours because of His extreme benevolence to you. Confess your "take it for granted" attitude, and in thanksgiving ask the Holy Spirit to reveal more of Jesus to you today. Run to Him in love, fellowship, and joyful surrender, because of His great compassion, tenderness, and faithfulness toward you. Offer Him a sacrifice of thanksgiving, by His power and for His glory!.
"Holy Lord, our hearts are filled with gratitude to You, for the gift of Your presence. We ask that you accept this humble sacrifice of worship as a love offering to You. It is only by Your power, love, and grace that we can give thanks. Thank You for giving us access to You by the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross. As we prepare our hearts for the celebration of Your Son’s Birthday, may we be thankful indeed for Your extreme sacrifice of love for us in Christ Jesus: the baby who became the Passover Lamb. We love You! In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
