Give Thanks
Let the weak say 'I am Strong',
Let the poor say 'I am Rich'
Because of what the Lord has done for us,
Give thanks.This song popped in my head whilst eating dinner and a few moments after saying grace.Indeed,how often do we forget to give thanks to the Lord?
I remember being introduced to this song during the ancient times,around say,at least 7 years ago?Now that IS OLD.I remember that I didn't like this song because whenever I sang it during chapel at primary school the preachers who lead always sang it so solemnly and droned,so I thought that was seriously seriously boring.
However as time passed and I got closer and closer to Christ,I started to really consider this song.Give thanks with a grateful heart indeed.Give thanks because he has given us JESUS CHRIST,HIS SON.We can never thank God enough for giving us the chance of redemption,for the blood shed of his son,that cleansed us and now dwells and lives with us.If God decided not to give us Jesus,and if Jesus never came,what would be of us?Our end would be in hell,torment.We would never get to know God and there would always be a separation between the almighty God and us.
We would be absolute poor and pathetic weaklings without Christ.We might even be foolish for our whole lives,doing stupid things and sinning again and again without finding any fault in it.Imagine if that happened.Horror it would be!I think we should really thank God for showing us mercy and continuing to pour out his everlasting love for us.
And here,we,the poor saplings,can alas say that we are rich and strong.Not by our own strength,but through and by Christ who strengthens me.FOR WHAT THE LORD HAS DONE FOR US,GIVE THANKS.How can we not give thanks indeed?(:
Now that Christ is in us,we have the power!From he who has power.And you know what that power is?The power that conquered the grave.That power that makes the earth shake,to move mountains and the power to impact the nations.As God has said,'In MY NAME you shall move mountains'.Never lose hope,because God is always there to back you up:D
PRAISE THE LORD!(:
God bless you(:
