Sacrifice of thanksgiving…
Some friends have been building and are continuing to build a soccer field and family center in Thailand as a ministry outreach…this endeavor has been big, much watched and anticipated by the community…and now the field portion is in use, as the family center is being worked on…
Recently the rains came and caused some flooding which needed to be addressed…but not just the builders came to solve the issues, but people from the community came to help…those who have watched this project and are thankful for the benefits to their community, opening the door for the gospel…the intended purpose…
Out of the flooding came community, thanksgiving…
Sometimes it is so hard to give thanks…when we can’t see the light of day for the darkness around…but we glorify God when we do…a sacrifice of thanksgiving…
Thank YOU….
Offer to God a sacrifice of thanksgiving,and perform your vows to the Most High, and call upon me in the day of trouble;I will deliver you, and you shall glorify me.”
The one who offers thanksgiving as his sacrifice glorifies me;to one who orders his way rightly I will show the salvation of God!”
Ps.50.14-15, 23
“Sacrifice is an act of offering unto God that which cost us something. Sacrifice are not a casual affairs, a sacrifice of thanksgiving means much more than a quick “thank you, God I appreciate it”. A sacrifice of thanksgiving must cost us something because it is the expression of gratitude to God for what He has done, doing and will do.” Flowingfaith.com
For now we live, if you are standing fast in the Lord. For what thanksgiving can we return to God for you, for all the joy that we feel for your sake before our God,
1Thess.3.8-9
