Topic: You Have Every Reason To Thank God [6th August 2018 Daily Devotional]
“O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. Psalm 136: 1
Often times, we look at the immediate challenge we have but we do not sit down to count the blessings of God on our behalf. 2 Corinthians 9:8 tells us; “God will cause all grace to abound towards us that we having all sufficiency in all things, will abound to all good works.” In other words, when the need arises, (not just financial) the all-sufficient God will cause you to have all that you need. There are several needs in our lives which ordinarily money could not have met but here we are. We are not looking at your photograph, we are looking at you.
When the year started, many were wondering how they will survive. But you have not only survived, you are an overcomer. God saw you through. You never went about naked. You wear cloth and you have somewhere to lay your head. You are not suffering from malnutrition. You have not lost your mind. You are not hospitalized. You are not bedridden neither are you in a wheelchair. Even when you took ill, He healed your diseases. The same thing that killed others, you went through them and you are still alive. It is the doing of God. Beloved, you have every reason to thank God.
The fact that you survived is an indication that your need will be met. Don’t even think of how it will happen. I believe God is already at work on your behalf. He’s working behind the scene. You will celebrate. You will definitely have the last laugh in your life. The devil will not steal your joy. We live by the promises of God. That is why the bible says the just shall live by faith. We live by what the bible says and not by what we see. So never stop thanking God for your life that you survived. Thank God that you are here and you are going somewhere to happen.
