OUR GOD IS

This Thanksgiving I was wondering what to thank God for and realized that even if I had ten thousand tongues, I could not thank Him enough. The Bible says in 1 Chronicles 16:4 “And he appointed certain of the Levites to minister before the ark of the Lord, and to record, and to thank and praise the Lord God of Israel” You see, Certain Levites were selected to give constant praise and thanks to God. Praise and thanksgiving should be a normal part of our everyday lives, not held in reserve only for celebrations. Praise God continually, and you will find that you won’t take his blessings for granted. You see our God is not only good, He's more than good.

He is...

Too holy to be defiled
Too eternal to be an a transient
Too free to be bound
Too invincible to be conquered
Too sure to fail
Too truthful to lie
Too real to be a myth
Too exact to error--
Too true to be false-
Too all knowing to be a learner--
Too wise to be deceived--
Too infallible to make a mistake--
Too strong to be defeated--
Too powerful to be dethroned-
Too competent to be disqualified--
Too alert to be surprised--
Too near to be far away-
Too punctual to be late--
Too watchful to sleep--
Too mindful to forget--
Too right to be wrong--
Too great to be challenged--
Too good to be mean--
Too pure to be contaminated--
Too high to be brought down--
Too rich to become bankrupt-
Too stable to be moved--
Too everlasting to vanish--
Too big to get around--
Too perfect to have defects--
Too merciful to be mean--
Too loving to be unkind--
Too secure not to be trusted and I tell you the God we serve is a too God, and so we need to learn to call the Lord by His right name.

During the Thanksgiving holiday, we focus on our blessings and express our gratitude to God for them. But thanks should be on our lips every day. We can never say thank you enough to parents, friends, leaders, and especially to God. When thanksgiving becomes an integral part of your life, you will find that your attitude toward life will change. You will become more positive, gracious, loving, and humble.

"It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High: [2] To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night" Psalm 92:1-2

Happy Thanksgiving
