I was working up a lesson the other day for a class I had to teach and came across this verse.
Psalms 73:28
But as for me, the nearness of God is my good ; I have made the Lord GOD my refuge
It is so simple, but tells us so much!
If we could somehow, possibly remember every single minute of every day that the nearness of God is our good....wow!!!
One way to stay near to God is to be thankful to Him.
Let's challenge ourselves this week to be over the top thankful to our God who has bestowed such blessings on us.
Let's work to acknowledge all those things we take for granted each day.
I have an idea! Let's take each day of the week and use one of our senses to guide the beginning and direction of our thanks to God.
I will randomly assign something for each day....here ya go.
Monday...smell
Tuesday...sight
Wednesday...touch
Thursday...taste
Friday...sound
So, today as different smells reach your sniffer, think of how you can be thankful to God for what that smell puts through your mind.
As I sort the laundry and smell the dirty clothes and the laundry soap so many things will flood my mind.
Who makes those clothes dirty, and what do they do to make 'em smell the way they do?
(the smell isn't all that bad, but work with me here okay??)
That thought alone takes my mind buzzing in so many directions with so much to be thankful for. My kids, my husband, healthy bodies to play and run, places that I need to be that call for different clothes and how those places bless my life! You get what I mean, right??!!
This is just a bit of a challenge to get us out of our normal routine, and really thinking about the wonderful creator we have, who is so very very good!
Okay, get out there and be thankful, it should be fun!!
