Thank God I’m An American
Ξ July 5th, 2008 | → Comments Off | ∇ Christian Living, Growing In The Lord, Praise |
I wanted to publicly thank my Lord for the fact that I am an American. That does not mean that I am slamming any other place in the world. It simply means that God put me here, right now in the day and hour and I thank God for that. I think that it’s vitally important that we spend some time each day thanking God for those things that He has provided to us. In that area, I know that I fall very short. So, today, the day after the 4th of July, when all eyes are on the fireworks and giving thanks for the country we live in, I now give thanks for all that my Lord has given to me.
No, I do not intend to put the list here. Frankly, at this point you should be inserting your own list of thanks. I know that we spend more time wanting to thank God on Thanksgiving but we should be thanking Him each and every day. We should be giving Him all of our attention at some point in the day so that He can give us the boost we need to get past all the nasty things in the world.
So, take just a bit of time today, tomorrow and each day from now on to stop and talk to the Lord about those things that bother you, the things that you need to get a handle on, things that you worry about. Give it all to Him. He wants you to do that so that He can handle it for you. Take the time to get to know your Lord. He’s waiting right where you stopped talking to Him. He’s right where you left Him all those years ago.
Yes, I thank God I am an American but I also thank God that I am a Christian, a saved one, one who has asked Jesus to come into her life and be so blessed! I am so honored and blessed! Thank You, Lord Jesus, for going to the cross in my place! I am so blessed that I do not have to be without You! Praise God!
