 Today's devotional reading for: Tuesday, Aug 4, 2020 Let Us Remember and Give Thanks
“Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits.”
— Psalm 103:2
“Thank you.” Two simple words that let us know we’re appreciated for what we do and who we are.
When was the last time those words crossed your lips as you prayed to God?
I believe the Scriptures place a great deal more emphasis upon gratitude than we realize.
In fact, the Scriptures consider thankfulness and its antithesis, thanklessness, as extremely important issues.
Throughout the Bible, we’re called again and again to praise and thank God.
Most people have Christianity absolutely backward.
They suppose that the motive of the Christian life is to perform good deeds in the hope of gaining eternal life.
And if that were the case, we wouldn’t need to express thanks to God; we would have earned our own passage to Heaven with no one to thank but ourselves.
But we can’t achieve eternal life on our own; we can gain salvation only through God’s grace by faith in Jesus Christ.
And this truth engenders a heart of thankfulness and praise.
God’s amazing grace inspires us to express our deepest gratitude to our Lord and Savior.
When we freely offer God our thanks and praise, our lives change.
As we count our many blessings, one by one, we may become overwhelmed by what God has done in our lives.
We may also learn to trust Him for future needs as we review God’s perfect track record of taking care of us.
I encourage you to keep a spiritual journal, where you record your prayer requests and the Lord’s answers.
The ancient Israelites often ran into problems because they didn’t remember all God had done for them in their past, such as parting the Red Sea to save them from Pharaoh and the Egyptians.
But if you keep a prayer journal, you won’t suffer from the same “amnesia.”
As you regularly write down God’s answers to your prayers, you’ll remember His wonderful care for you, and you’ll automatically be filled with gratefulness and adoration toward God.
“A thankful heart is … the parent of all other virtues.”

Heaven Is Our Destination Where We Will Be ONE With The Lord Forever
Today, we are in The Season Of The Last Generation. The Birth Pains that Christ Jesus spoke about are currently under way, including natural and unnatural disasters. They will be ever increasing. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold. Social, economic and political turmoil will be ever increasing, causing people's hearts to be weighed down with dissipation, drunkenness and the anxieties of life. An apostasy within the Church of God is currently under way. This will all reach a climax with Satan revealing his Antichrist and requiring that everyone worship him; That every one receive his "mark" in order to buy or sell; The new currency of the New World Order, the New Tower of Babel.
Tom's books include: Called By Christ To Be ONE, The Time Of The END, The Season Of The Last Generation, Worship God In Spirit And In Truth, Daniel And The Time Of The END, and Overcoming The Evil One. They are available at amazon.com. They can also be read without cost by clicking on link: Toms Books.
To receive Christ Jesus as a child by faith is the highest human achievement.
Today, the Bride Of Christ is rising up in every nation in the world! Giving Glory to Her Savior and King, Christ Jesus!
Today, the world is Raging against God, Rushing toward Oblivion! Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation!
Today, America is being ground to powder because of it's SIN against God!
