Daily Devotional
Do you stop to thank God for these?
October 11, 2018
BIBLE MEDITATION:
Give thanks unto the Lord, call upon His name, make known His deeds among the people. 1 Chronicles 16:8
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
If you are a child of God, you ought to be able to thank God every moment of every day, no matter what happens to you.
Have you ever stopped to thank God for the water you drink? Did you know that in some countries the majority of the population doesn’t have reasonably pure drinking water? Millions of people die annually just from water-related diseases.
If you wear a hearing aid, do you ever thank God for that? Some people wish they had a hearing aid.
If you are a student in the midst of final exams, do you thank God that you have an exam to take? There are many who wish they could afford an education.
Do you thank God for your next breath?
ACTION POINT:
Whatever it is in your life today that looks like a trial, take it and thank God for it! Thank Him every time the thought enters your mind to grumble or complain.

Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
