Thankful, Day Forty-Two

Make a joyful shout to the Lord, all you lands!

Serve the Lord with gladness.

Come before His presence with singing.

Know that the Lord, He is God;

It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves;

We are His people, and the sheep of His pasture.

Enter into His gates with thanksgiving,

And into His courts with praise.

Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.

For the Lord is good;

His mercy is everlasting,

And His truth endures to all generations.

Psalm 100, NKJV

We are not our own; we belong to God. His hands shaped us in the wombs of our mothers. His Spirit transformed us when we yielded our lives to Him. His Son paid the purchase price for our souls. To use words from one of my favorite books of Scripture, I am my beloved's and he is mine; His banner over me is love!

Thank you God, for creating me and making me like you did.

Thank you for redeeming my life from destruction, and making me your own.

Thank you for being my own, my personal Lord and Savior, my very own God.

This may not be a long blog, but I am happy I belong to Him. He sure knows how to take care of me. And I am truly thankful!
