with thanksgiving....

With thanksgiving
With praise
We magnify Your Name O Lord with all of our heart...
May we intentionally dwell upon Your lovingkindness and purposefully, with whole heartedness, give thanks as we approach this coming week's Thanksgiving celebration...

Now therefore, our God, we thank You, and praise Your glorious name. 
1 Chronicles 29:13 

Enter His gates with thanksgiving 

And His courts with praise. 

Give thanks to Him, bless His name. 

For the Lord is good; 

His lovingkindness is everlasting 

And His faithfulness to all generations.

Psalms 100:4-5

a life of faith...

...the life which I now live in the flesh
I live by faith in the Son of God,
who loved me...      

Galatians 2:20

Do we live by faith or do we live by the world?
The life of faith is our calling as believers in Christ Jesus.
A faith that believes all things just as He has said,
a faith that overcomes the world,
a faith that lives in the righteousness of Christ,
a faith that dwells in His presence,
a faith that is grounded in His grace and truth by the power of the Holy Spirit,
a faith that shines the Light of hope,
a faith that lives a life of love as He loves us.
A miraculous life of faith in a miraculous Lord...

To know Him and to testify...

...we speak of what we know and testify of what we have seen...   John 3:11 

To know Him and to testify - 
of His amazing grace and truth...
of His marvelous redemptive sacrifice...
of His miraculous power...
of His awesome glory...
of His wonderful kingdom...
of His never ending love...
This is what we are to be about as the Spirit fully indwells in us and through us...
