Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
We have so much to be thankful for because of God's great mercy and blessings. We can face difficult times in life but the joy of the Lord is our strength! (Nehemiah 8:10) What an eternal promise! The complete verse says, "Go and enjoy choice food and sweet drinks, and send some to those who have nothing prepared. This day is holy to our Lord. Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is our strength." Wow! What a verse!
Kinda sounds like an appropriate verse for THANKSGIVING. Enjoy time together with family and friends. Help those in need. Don't grieve but remember that the Lord has all in His control and He does what brings Him Joy! You've heard the old saying, "If momma ain't happy, nobody's happy!" A truer statement would be, "If the Lord ain't happy, nobody's gonna be happy." It is the joy and pleasure of the Lord that truly brings us happiness.
Strive to bring honor to the Lord and He will bless and be happy. Please Him and enjoy the fruits He provides. When I remember that the Lord is in full control and He brings Himself joy through my life, then I don't have to grieve.
I pray you have a wonderful Thanksgiving celebration with family and friends knowing that it brings Joy to the Lord!
From the Heart,
Pastor BR
