Let us worship GOD always!

 When we trust in GOD, we know that no matter what comes our way, GOD will be with us.

When Jacob was returning home from his sojourn to his uncle, Laban, along with his wives and his children, he was all to aware that he had left his homeland after a deep rift with his brother Esau.  And the reunion of the two brothers could have gone either way.  Friendly and cordial or downright enmity and war.

On that basis, Jacob was travelling in fear and trepidation.  But Jacob also "knew" GOD.  And Jacob talked to GOD.  GOD had promised to make Jacob's name as numerous as the stars.

So when Jacob met with his brother and the two brothers embraced each other, Jacob knew that GOD had forgiven him and his deceptions.  Jacob went up and made an alter to the LORD.

So it is with us.  When we have feared the worst and it has come to pass that our fears were groundless, but through it all, we have kept our faith in GOD, we need to thank GOD.  And that is something very easily forgotten.

So today, I would like us all to come before our FATHER in an attitude of gratitude.  Let us thank our FATHER in Heaven for the rain, for our families, for our friends, for our homes, for our comforts.  But most of all, let us thank GOD for giving us life and for giving us HIS grace and mercy.

Prayer:  ABBA FATHER, tonight I cry out to YOU.  Thank YOU FATHER.  Thank YOU for all that I am.  Thank YOU for all that I have.  Thank YOU for my family and my friends.  Thank YOU for my Church.  Thank YOU that I am able to worship YOU and read YOUR peace unhindered.  Thank YOU for everything.  I thank YOU in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay gratefully GOD blessed today!
