Liz’s Morning Devotional: Scripture selected from Upper Room
November 23, 2023
Psalm 100
1 Shout triumphantly to the LORD, all the earth! 2 Serve the LORD with celebration! Come before him with shouts of joy! 3 Know that the LORD is God he made us; we belong to him. We are his people, the sheep of his own pasture. 4 Enter his gates with thanks; enter his courtyards with praise! Thank him! Bless his name! 5 Because the LORD is good, his loyal love lasts forever; his faithfulness lasts generation after generation.
Good Morning. Happy Thanksgiving!
It is a beautiful morning! Praise to the Lord, our God! Know that the Lord is God!
On this day of Thanksgiving, may all take a moment to look around and see the beautiful signs of God in our lives: the gentle breeze, the clean, crisp air, and the brightly shining sun. Thank God for our abundant gifts that sustain us in the darkness.
By the grace of God, we are blessed as heirs of the kingdom of God. Give thanks with a grateful heart. In Ephesians 2 we read,
8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast. 10 For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
Creator God, Thank you for loving us. Lift us from the mud, and open our eyes to see Your light. Thank you. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
Creator God, Thank you for this beautiful gift of life. You give us so much more than we can imagine or deserve. Thank you in the name of Jesus. Amen
Thought for the day: Celebrate and give thanks to God!
Choose Joy! Pastor Liz
