Thank You Lord!
From my Ecclesiastes 3:11 Journal
Thanks, as seen in heaven!
The first thought and word that comes out of me when I wake up each day is: “Thank you Lord for this day.”
On the first day of 2021, when I woke up and sat on the edge of my bed to get up, I asked myself:
“Will God receive my thanks? What effect could this have on God Almighty? Or is it just a cliché of mine?”
I find myself so bereft of the right word to express the vision the Lord gave me. He showed me what “Thank God” looks like in heaven. “Thank God”, is not a mere noun. It is a living agent that flows and delights the city of God. And quiet my spirit, casting out fear and strengthening me with joy.
As I begin to thank God, my world may be dark bronze, as the picture shows and I may be walking in a valley of the shadow of death. But, by giving thanks to God my world is changing in flashes of glory!
“There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy dwelling place of the Most High.” (Psalms 46:4 MEV).
The vision given to me was like a display of animated, lively, grandiose, jazzy light that pours out of diamonds. Each time “Thank You Lord” reaches heaven, those amazing flashes of light radiate different heavenly colors unknown on earth!
So, every time I say, “Thank you Lord,” I get a glimpse of that agent of joy flashing dazzling colors before the throne of God! Failure to recognize the Creator God, darkens your mind and you become foolish and empty.
“Because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him or give thanks to Him as God, but became futile in their imaginations, and their foolish hearts were darkened.”
Every morning and during the day, I am so conscious of this brief, but profound revelation! And know this the will of God.
(Romans 1:21 MEV).
“In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” (1Thessalonians 5:8).
This is My Story? What is Yours?
