22- May        Knock With Thanksgiving

Luke 17:16-18     He fell to the ground at Jesus’ feet, thanking him for what he had done. This man was a Samaritan.  Jesus asked, “Didn’t I heal ten men? Where are the other nine?  Has no one returned to give glory to God except this foreigner?”

The full awareness of God’s grace towards us makes us fall to our knees to worship Jesus, too. But unfortunately, we get so caught up in our pursuit of employment and our attempts to supply our own needs that we allow what we don’t yet have to crowd out all that we already possess. Today, before you begin your job search activity, sit still and recount all that the Lord has done for you.

Thank Him and praise Him. Then be refreshed, knowing that God is good and only good. His love and mercy towards us is boundless. Bask in thanksgiving and go forth in peace and confidence. The God who has blessed us in the past is forever in the “blessing business.”

DECLARE THIS:
• I give thanks for all that Jesus has done for me. I am saved, healed, prosperous and complete.
• By faith I receive God’s blessing and expect it to manifest in every part of my life.
• With the help of the Holy Spirit, I make thanksgiving and praise my continuous response to God.
