    When he came down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him. Behold, a leper came to him and worshiped him, saying, "Lord, if you want to, you can make me clean." Jesus stretched out his hand, and touched him, saying, "I want to. Be made clean." Immediately his leprosy was cleansed. Matthew 8...

    Then the devil took him into the holy city. He set him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written, 'He will command his angels concerning you,' and, 'On their hands they will bear you up, so that you don't dash your foot against...

A Gift for God

  • If I were hungry, I would not tell you, for the world is mine, and all that is in it. Will I eat the meat of bulls, or drink the blood of goats? Offer to God the sacrifice of thanksgiving. Pay your vows to the Most High. Call on me in the day of trouble. I will deliver you, and you will honor me." Psalms 50:12'15 WEB.

    God owns the entire universe, above, below, both seen and unseen. Some people think that the devil will own hell and rule there. Not so. The devil will be imprisoned there just like anyone else who rejects Jesus Christ. In fact, he was the primary reason it was built, and he will just be another inmate.

    God owns the cattle on a thousand hills. The money in our pocket came from Him, as well as the shirt on our back. So what can we give God that He doesn't already have? Thanksgiving and praise from our hearts. A thankful heart goes a long, long way with the Lord.

    So simple in theory yet so difficult in practice. Stump your toe, or smack your thumb with a hammer, and see what tries to come out of you. "God, thank you for not letting me break it" would be a good response. Yet, sometimes I do something else.

    Be thankful for what God has already given you. If you're reading this, then evidently, you are still breathing. So be grateful for that. Tell God, "Thank You for what you have already done for me!" Praise is right along those lines as well, "God, You are AWESOME! I could have never done that without You!" That is the gift that God doesn't have.

    Prayer: Heavenly Father, I thank You today for all that You have blessed me with. You've been so good to me, and I appreciate it. Please draw me to You, teach me about You, and make me steadfast today. In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen!

    Note: For those following the Creation Photography weekly challenges, group leader, Dianna Wyles: Job 12:7-10 'But ask the animals, and they will teach you, or the birds in the sky, and they will tell you; or speak to the earth, and it will teach you, or let the fish in the sea inform you. Which of all these does not know that the hand of the Lord has done this? In his hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind." ~ 'All God's Creatures' will be our fun-tastic theme choice this week. Our themes are always wide open for creative interpretation so have fun and let us see your photographic creativity. Please do remember this group is for All levels of photography and we welcome your participation. Have a wonderful week everyone, God Bless! Here is the link: Creation Photographers

Wonderful! The results of praise!  Like a child (or anyone) giving their parent (or someone) a heartfelt "thank you" or a heartfelt "I love you" ... how wonderful that feels to the receiver, must be how it makes God feel!
