Psalm 107:1-2 — Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
his love endures forever.
Let the redeemed of the Lord tell their story —
those he redeemed from the hand of the foe,
__________________________

Gratitude gets us through the hard stuff. To reflect on your blessings is to rehearse God's accomplishments. To rehearse God's accomplishments is to discover His heart. To discover His heart is to discover not just good gifts but the Good Giver. Gratitude always leaves us looking at God and helps us exchange bitterness for something better.

[bluidkiti]

November 5

This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God’s servants, who give their full time to governing. Romans 13:6

But you must be careful so that your freedom does not cause others with a weaker conscience to stumble. 1 Corinthians 8:9

Joshua 22:5 - 5 But be very careful to obey all the commands and the instructions that Moses gave to you. Love the Lord your God, walk in all his ways, obey his commands, hold firmly to him, and serve him with all your heart and all your soul.”

Psalm 118:24 — The Lord has done it this very day; let us rejoice today and be glad.
__________________________

There are days when the last thing we want to do is rejoice. Our mood is down, our situation is out of hand, and our sorrow or guilt is overwhelming. We can relate to the writers of the psalms who often felt this way. But no matter how low the psalmists felt, they were always honest with God. And as they talked to God, their prayers ended in praise. When you don't feel like rejoicing, tell God how you truly feel. You will find that God will give you a reason to rejoice. God has given you this day to live and to serve him — be glad!

[bluidkiti]

November 10

[bluidkiti]

November 11

Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world. 1 John 2:15-16

Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples. John 13:35

Matthew 6:19-20 - 19 “Don’t store up treasures here on earth, where moths eat them and rust destroys them, and where thieves break in and steal. 20 Store your treasures in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal.

John 14:1-3 — "Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father's house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am."

[bluidkiti]

November 12

For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; Colossians 1:9

[bluidkiti]

Hebrews 13:8 — Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
__________________________

When your past comes to haunt you, turn your thoughts around and thank God for past blessings. His care for you in days gone by is far greater than any perils or problems, and His redemption is deeper than any regret. When a current distress torments you, turn it into prayer and praise, and thank God for promising to never leave you nor forsake you. Whenever you're tempted to fret about tomorrow, start praising Him for the eternal nature of His love, for a future just as bright as His promises. Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever — and so are His grace, peace, sovereignty, fellowship, joy, power, wisdom and love. He gives His blessings in bundles — yesterday, today and forever — so our gratitude should be eternal.

[dwmoeller]

Be very careful, then, how you live - not as unwise but as wise. - Ephesians 5:15

1 Thessalonians 5:18 — ...give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
__________________________

There are many challenging things that happen in life for which we don't naturally, even supernaturally, feel thankful. But when we consider that God is our Father, that he knows the number of hairs on our head (Luke 12:7) and that the days of our life are planned ahead by him (Psalm 139:16) — it stands to reason that there are no accidents with God. We know that God is able to use even difficult things in life for our good (Romans 8:28), to conform us to the image of Christ (Romans 8:29). If you have a hard time thanking Him for something that happens, do the next best thing: ask Him to show you how

[bluidkiti]

November 19

Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful; But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he meditates day and night. Psalm 1:1-2

And so, Lord, where do I put my hope? My only hope is in you. Psalm 39:7

November 20

Oh come, let us sing to the Lord! Let us shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation. Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving; Let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms. Psalm 95:1-2

I wait quietly before God, for my victory comes from him. Psalm 62:1

Hebrews 13:2 - 2 Don’t forget to show hospitality to strangers, for some who have done this have entertained angels without realizing it!

[bluidkiti]

November 21

1 Timothy 5:3-4 - 3 Take care of any widow who has no one else to care for her. 4 But if she has children or grandchildren, their first responsibility is to show godliness at home and repay their parents by taking care of them. This is something that pleases God.

Isaiah 40:6-8 —

A voice says, "Cry out."
And I said, "What shall I cry?"
"All people are like grass,
and all their faithfulness is like the flowers of the field.
The grass withers and the flowers fall,
because the breath of the Lord blows on them.
Surely the people are grass.
The grass withers and the flowers fall,
but the word of our God endures forever."
__________________________

People are compared here to grass and flowers that wither away. We are mortal, but God's Word is eternal and unfailing. Public opinion changes and is unreliable, but God's Word is constant. Only in God's eternal Word will we find lasting solutions to our problems and needs.

*****

Proverbs 20:24 — A person’s steps are directed by the Lord. How then can anyone understand their own way?
__________________________

We are often confused by the events around us. Many things we will never understand; others will fall into place in years to come as we look back and see how God was working. This proverb counsels us not to worry if we don't understand everything as it happens. Instead, we should trust that God knows what he's doing, even if his timing or design is not clear to us.

Hebrews 12:15 — See to it that no one falls short of the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many.

Psalm 119:113-114 —

I hate double-minded people,
but I love your law.
You are my refuge and my shield;
I have put my hope in your word.
__________________________

Double-minded people cannot make up their minds between good and evil. But when it comes to obeying God, there is no middle ground — you must take a stand. Either you are obeying him or you are not. Either you are doing what he wants or you are undecided. Choose to obey God, and say with the psalmist, "I love your law."

[bluidkiti]

November 25

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

Every time I think of you, I give thanks to my God Philippians 1:3

Ephesians 5:8-10 — For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) and find out what pleases the Lord.

[bluidkiti]

November 26

Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. Hebrews 12:28

...that I might sing praises to you and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give you thanks forever! Psalm 30:12

Matthew 6:1-2 - 1 “Watch out! Don’t do your good deeds publicly, to be admired by others, for you will lose the reward from your Father in heaven. 2 When you give to someone in need, don’t do as the hypocrites do—blowing trumpets in the synagogues and streets to call attention to their acts of charity! I tell you the truth, they have received all the reward they will ever get.

*****

Psalm 138:1-3 —

I will praise you, Lord, with all my heart;
before the "gods" I will sing your praise.
I will bow down toward your holy temple
and will praise your name
for your unfailing love and your faithfulness,
for you have so exalted your solemn decree
that it surpasses your fame.
When I called, you answered me;
you greatly emboldened me.
__________________________

Thanksgiving should be an integral part of our praise to God. This theme is woven throughout the Psalms. As we praise and thank God for material and spiritual blessings, we should also thank Him for answered prayer. Remember when you asked God for protection, strength, comfort, patience, love, or other special needs, and He supplied them? Beware of taking God's provision and answered prayer for granted.

[bluidkiti]

November 27

Philippians 4:6-8 —

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable — if anything is excellent or praiseworthy — think about such things.

It's Thanksgiving . . . giving thanks clears our mind to hear God's voice and empowers us to act on what he says.

November 28

[bluidkiti]

November 30

But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up. Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, 2 Peter 3:10-11

Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness. Colossians 2:7

Proverbs 3:9 - 9 Honor the Lord with your wealth and with the best part of everything you produce.

[dwmoeller]

Who is a God like you, who pardons sin? - Micah 7:18

Thought: There is forgiveness with God. Don't forget to forgive yourself too.
