TODY WITH JESUS
01 March 2011
Today’s Bible verse
“But thanks be to God, who always leads us in Victory
through Christ, God uses us to spread his knowledge everywhere like a
sweet- smelling perfume.”( 2 Corinthians 2:14)
Do you forget to say a word of thanks for all the benefits you have
received?
We are at the mercy of God. All living beings are inter connected with
the same source. Nobody could live by disconnecting this relation. We
are strengthened our relationship with God and our fellow beings by
leading a life of thanks. We should not forget all the benefits of God
that we enjoy. Always keep the word of thanks in our lips . Thank you,
yes thank you, or no thank you are the normal responses from any English
people you encounter for anything. The effectiveness of thanks are
far-reaching and nobody could fathom it. It benefits mainly to the giver
than to the receiver. Don’t forget to say a word of thanks for every
things –good or bad. We could express it by a word of prayer, a smile, a
warm shake hands, a sunshine letter, some help in action, a gift etc.
But the fact is that the reserved should be felt it. The daily prayer in
set times is one of the best ways to live in thanks to God , daily bible
readings, attending the church, visiting the holy places are all in
addition. The world should be spread the fragrance of thankfulness. Now
number of people are tired with thankless behaviour of the
beneficiaries. As long as we cross the bridge, our lips are full of
warmness of praise and after crossing it becomes ice of cold. What a
thankless generation! If we are not taught and practiced the way of
thankfulness then we are not deserving to call as Homo sapiens-(meaning
-knowing man or better man.)
23 Chileans miners , along with their families are on their way of
pilgrimage in the path of Jesus in Israel for expressing their thanks
for the miraculous escape after 68 days under the earth. They organized
daily prayer sessions during their 68 day ordeal under ground last year.
Now they visit the holiest Christian sites in an ecstatic celebration of
faith and gratitude.. “It’s a great honour for us to be here, because
God rescued us from the bowels of earth and we are so grateful.” Said
miner Jose Enriques. . “It’s amazing to be here, in this place, to be
able to thank God for what he did for us.”. It was a terrible accident,
but I think what God wants is for us to be able to unite the world in
prayer,” He took this terrible accident and he has used it for something
good to unite the entire world.”
“ Give thanks to the lord for he is good! His faithful love
endures forever.”(Psalm 136:1) “I can no other answer
make, but thanks, and thanks.”-William Shakespeare
Prayer: Jesus, Thanks for all
your grace and blessings. Let all of us be the children of thanks. If we
had forgotten thanks to anybody please forgive and forget our wrongs of
thanklessness. Let a generation arise with thankfulness for all your
blessings. Let our lips, hearts , minds .homes, and churches echoed with
the voices of thanks. All we ask in the name of Jesus. Amen.
Love
