We are talking about the kind of people God is looking for, and one thing we know that he wants to find are people who have a heart of thanksgiving. As you think about the beauty of today or any day, even before the actual day of Thanksgiving arrives next week, why not take some time and count your blessings. I love that old song, count your blessings name the one by one, count your blessings, see what God has done…. What has God done in your life.? Have you experienced His goodness? Have you seen His faithfulness manifested on your behalf? Do you see His hand of protection on your family? Do you recognize that His mercies are new every morning for you? I know you can say yes! God is so good. He is good, and He’s been good to me. For those things that you are praying for, and using your faith for, God’s Word tells us in Phil 4;6 by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving to let our requests be made known unto God. When we operate in faith, we are thankful even before we see the manifestation. We know God is working on our behalf. We rejoice knowing that the answer will come, and it is on its way. We don’t keep asking and asking, we ask and then thank Him for hearing and answering. When we are praying in line with His Word, which is His will, we will have the petitions we ask of Him. What a wonderful thing to thank God for. Don’t forget to count your blessings today.
