GRACE OUTREACH CHURCH RIYADH View this email in your browser TRY THANKSGIVING It is good to give thanks to the Lord, and to sing praises to Your name, O Most High. Psalm 92:1 When we’re going through a difficult time, we may not feel particularly grateful. Yet, even in periods of suffering and fear, we can thank God for His abundant promises and unfailing goodness. When we do express our gratitude to God, a wonderful change takes place within us. I discovered this for myself. Years ago the devil came against my marriage, and deep shadows had covered my soul. I prayed, but the darkness did not vanish. I summoned myself to endure, but the darkness only deepened. One day, as I was going through some of my old devotional materials there was these words: Try Thanksgiving. I did, and in a moment every shadow was gone, not to return. Yes, the psalmist was right. ‘It is good to give thanks to the Lord.’” Perhaps you have felt a shadow come over your spiritual life recently. Or maybe you’re struggling under heavy burdens that seem unbearable. If so, bow your head and thank the Lord for all He has done for you. Tell Him you know He loves you and has not abandoned you. Express your gratitude for your salvation, for life itself, and for the good things He has given you. Then you will begin to experience for yourself the blessing of thanksgiving. If we were thankful for everything the way God tells us to be, what a wonderful change in our living we would be able to see! A HEAVY HEART IS MADE LIGHTER WHEN THE WEIGHT OF INGRATITUDE IS LIFTED.
