This is the first of 30 daily blog posts that will help give some direction for one new thing each day for which we can give thanks. You may have a different one that God impresses on your mind and heart each day, but these will be daily suggestions that can give you some help as we allow God to continue to cultivate in each of us a heart of gratefulness. If you missed the blog yesterday, I encourage you to take a moment to read it as an introduction to the daily messages to come. Each day will be short, but will give you a start in reflection, encouragement to express your thanks to God, as well as looking for ways in which you can express your gratitude that day. So, let's begin with God's greatest gift!
2 Corinthians 9:15 (ESV) "Thanks be to God for his inexpressible gift!"
God's inexpressible gift is His gift of salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ.
Reflect on that gift for your life, what it means, and where you would be without it. Give Him thanks. How can you live today in gratitude for God's inexpressible gift?

The Best Seat in the Stadium
ReplyDeleteThe best seat in the stadium is on the 40 yard line. In 1967, an evangelist came to our town to lead a week long revival. It seemed as if the whole town met in the Memorial Football Stadium. As a Jr. High boy, I sang in the choir that week. It was during that week on April 17th that I received the expressible gift. On that day, as I sat on the 40 yard line, Jesus changed my life. That gift has never diminished in its meaning for me. How would you like a gift like that?
