“Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable His judgments, and His paths
beyond tracing out!” Romans 11:33 (NIV).
A national day of Thanksgiving
approaches in our country on the fourth Thursday of every November.
A day to plan for and make
preparations for; a day to open our
homes and share with others our very hearts for this great and wonderful God
whom we are privileged to know and to serve.
A time to gather together, clasp hands
in an unbroken circle as we give thanks to God above, the great God; our great
and awesome God.
A special day set aside to acknowledge His
daily presence, provision, and protection to all who call upon His name; a time
to honor Him with our praise and thanksgiving.
A time to call upon this God of mercy,
compassion, and love; a time to pray in
unity for His continued blessings upon our children and our families, and all
the families of the earth.
Many of us can testify to the fact
that life today is not easy. So many
people around the world are suffering physically, financially, emotionally, and
spiritually.
Still, some know and acknowledge and proclaim praise to
the God of the universe, the Lord of creation.
When we speak, we may be assured
of His listening ear turned to us in our times of need.
A beautiful reminder is given in the Old Testament Book of Malachi,
whose very name means “messenger.” Although Malachi gives a very solemn message
to the world from the world’s Creator, we see in chapter 3:16-18, a precious promise from this glorious God.
“Then
those who feared the LORD talked with each other, and the LORD listened and
heard. A scroll of remembrance was
written in His presence concerning those who feared the LORD and honored His
name. ‘They will be Mine,’ says the LORD Almighty, ‘ in the day when I
make up My treasured possession. I will
spare them, just as in compassion a man spares his son who serves him. And you will again see the distinction between
the righteous and the wicked, between those who serve God and those who do
not.’”
Malachi 3:16-18 (NIV) .
Set aside time to read Malachi, to
reflect, and to allow the Sender of the message to commune with you.
