He who has made us and not we ourselves...!

Psalms 100:3-5 NKJV

Know that the Lord , He is God; It  is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; We  are His people and the sheep of His pasture. Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name. For the Lord  is good; His mercy is everlasting, And His truth endures to all generations.

Shalom! Day #250. Do you know that when we are nothing and have nothing, God took us and made us into something? Let's pray. Father, it's not by our strength or power that we gain everything we have today, but by Your Spirit that's brought us through every thin and thick situations of our lives and taught to us many valuable lessons. It is You, who gave us victory and prosperity. We are the workmanship of Your hands. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Many at times I see believers when they have come to a certain point in their life,  they will boast about it saying, "after all this, I have made it an I have come up in my life." But they leave God out of the picture. If God did not allow them, or even enable them to become successful in everything they do, I don't think so they would be able to be who they are now. They forget to give thanks to God. At times of trouble we seek the hand of God for help,  and when we are helped, we forget God. Come on folks, without God we are nothing. If God did not create us, we might even exist here. Not by our might nor our power but by His Spirit.

In a believers life, thanksgiving isn't a days festival before Christmas but it's a lifestyle. In 1 Thessalonians 5:18 it says, in all things give thanks. In today's verse it says, "Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name. For the Lord  is good; His mercy is everlasting, And His truth endures to all generations." As you begin your day, every morning start it with thanksgiving and praises unto God. Enter into your day with shouts of praises and thanksgiving. Not just to come to church with a heart of thanksgiving, but it should be your lifestyle. Every minute of your life, must be filled with thanksgiving and praises. Even a word "HALLELUJAH" can make alot of difference in your life. It is God who enables us to grow, prosper, be successful and blessed in our lives. Yes, we would say that it is by our own hardwork, and our sweat but DO NOT FORGET, GOD IS THE ONE ENABLES YOU. Amen!

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
