DAILY?READINGS: Judges 14-15; Isaiah 34; 1 Corinthians 12
Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Ephesians 5:20
And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. Luke 22:19
Giving thanks for everything is difficult. It is hard to be grateful for great suffering or a loved one’s death. Yet our Lord shows the way. He gave thanks for His body about to be broken. He knew what was ahead—becoming sin for us. Yet His death opened the way to forgiveness for us. And so He gave thanks. Oh Lord, help us to be grateful for everything You have given us, or allowed in our lives. —J. Lee
Whatever our lot, Lord teach us to say,
Thank You Lord! Thank You Lord, O my soul.
