Celebrate His Goodness
Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name:
bring an offering, and come before him: worship
the LORD in the beauty of holiness
(1 Chronicles 16:29)
As the year 2017 draws to a fruitful end, it’s
important that we make out time to thank
God for His mighty blessings in our lives. Make today
a special day of rejoicing, expressing profuse gratitude
to the Lord for His blessings throughout 2017.
There’re four important ways you’re to celebrate
and thank the Lord today. First is through your prayer of
thanksgiving; express yourself to Him with thanksgiving
from your heart. Secondly, worship and praise Him
profusely and ecstatically from your spirit. Thirdly,
celebrate Him with your testimony?your testimony
of thanksgiving. Testify of what He’s done in your life;
eulogize Him for the joy of the Spirit that’s in your
heart. Thank Him for the foundation of your spirit; the
foundation of faith that God gave you. Celebrate the
hope, and other blessings in your spirit.
Lastly, celebrate Him with an offering. We worship
God with our offerings because He’s God. Your
offering to God is an oblation, a testimony of your faith
in Him. Give the Lord a special thanksgiving offering
today, and project yourself into the greater future He’s
planned for you.
Choose certain times or hours of the day to have
celebration sessions alone or with your family. Make
it an entire day of celebration, because you’re grateful
for all that Christ is to you; you acknowledge and
appreciate His grace at work in you.
Don’t spend time thinking about some unattained
goals or “disappointments” you may have experienced
in the year. Rather, celebrate Jesus, trusting that He’s
already perfected all that concerns you. Rejoice! Shout
and dance around in your room, glorifying the Name
of Jesus. Celebrate His life that’s in you. Celebrate
His Word that’s working mightily in you. Celebrate
the prosperity, health, peace, joy, victories and life of
glory that God has given you.
Prayer
Thank you precious Father, for your blessings upon my life,
my family, and everything that concerns me; you’ve decorated
my life with your glory. You plucked me out of trouble and
satisfied my desires with good things; for these, I rejoice and
adore your majesty. All glory, dominion and praise are yours,
now and forever, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
