How can it be possible to be
thankful when we are on the cusp of God's judgment - a time of His wrath
unparalleled in human history, in the nation ... the world ... the universe ...
the cosmos?
In my (long) life I have never
seen such things. Bringing it down to the personal level I have never seen a
time of such family tragedy, such utter disregard for the patterns God has set
down for family life, such total and complete lack of respect of the young for
the wisdom of their elders. It is truly unprecedented in history - as the Bible
has told us in advance. The foundation of our society - the family - has
crumbled.
Is it possible to give thanks,
then? Not only is it possible, it is essential. I know a little secret. If you
want the Lord to bend His ear in your direction start thanking Him. Morning,
noon and night. It's a habit of life. Begin each day counting your blessings
and thanking Him for them. Then continue to specifically tell Him the things
for which you are thankful - every little thing - and do it intermittently all
day long. There is nothing the Lord loves more than for us to praise and thank
Him for all of the many blessings He has given us. You will be surprised how
many things there are for which to be thankful. This habit keeps you in
constant touch with the Lord, and it turns you into a joyous person.
To get you started, listen to
this!
Allow the Lord to draw you nearer to Him. Give thanks!
