The Lord is near…
The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:5b-7
Many people are feeling a lot of anxiety these days - finding it difficult to look ahead to Thanksgiving. Thankfully, we know that God is sovereign. Nothing has happened that has taken Him by surprise. He has a plan. He is always in control. And He works all things together for our good and His glory.
Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful…And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him. Colossians 3:15, 17
As we approach the Thanksgiving holiday, let’s leave the things we don’t understand – the things that cause us anxiety – in the hands of our sovereign God and choose to focus on the blessings we have in our lives because of His generous love, His grace, and His mercy.
Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. James 1:17
Let’s remind ourselves of how He has worked and provided in the past and remember that He never changes – what He has done before, He will do again. Let’s seek His will and strive to be in it because “in His will” is always the best place to be!
Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
