PB Devotion

When the early church gathered, their purpose was to give thanks. It was a part of their worship. Someone had a psalm, someone had a prayer, someone had a word from the Lord, and a lot of people had an opportunity to say thanks. When we have fellowship with each other it is a good time to give thanks. Testify of His goodness.

“Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is. Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit. Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭5‬:‭15‬-‭20‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Paul cautions us to be filled with the Spirit. And what will happen? “Speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord.” Joy, rejoicing, prayer and praise will happen. In verse 20, he says, “Giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

According to Paul, a Spirit-filled Believer is a thankful believer, a joyful believer, a praying believer. If you are filled with the Spirit, thanks will gush out of you for everything.
Even in times of trouble.

Give thanks to the Lord for He is good!!

Happy Thanksgiving!
