31 Days Thanksgiving & Praise - DAY 2

So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue
to live in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith
as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.
Colossians 2:6-7: 6

Dear Lord, thank you for another day to give you glory, praise and honor. Another day to be thankful for your mercies, grace, faithfulness and never-ending love.

Today, dear Papa, I thank you for this very platform, this website, ‘A Day In God’s Will’. I thank you for the availability of this platform and the ability to use it to encourage others; through my experience, knowledge and wisdom you kindly and graciously give me.

I thank you because I know that lives have been and continue to be impacted and changed for the better and that you are taking the glory. I thank you for in its own small way, it is drawing people back and closer to you.

I thank you for the passion, zeal, desire and willingness (even though sometimes it is quite challenging oh!), to keep on writing, encouraging and sharing that which I have learnt.

I thank you because like Peter in Luke 22:31-32, you give me a second chance to come back here, and strengthen my brothers and sisters. I thank you that you are always glorified.

Father, I thank you that when I encourage others, I am encouraged. When I lift up, I am lifted up, when I help others, you send me helpers. I thank you for all the breakthroughs and testimonies that I have experienced through a simple post. It is totally awesome.

I thank you Holy Spirit for ministering to everyone that visits ‘A Day In God’s Will’, like only you can. The testimonies are endless and truly amazing.

I thank you father for the wonderful and bright future you have for 'A Day In God’s Will’; a future that will impact lives and generations to come, all for your glory.

Papa, today I place my basket of thanksgiving and praise at your feet and say a big THANK YOU for ‘A Day In God’s Will’.

I thank you for the privilege, honor, responsibility and confidence you have placed in me to declare your majesty, to write about your faithfulness, your kindness, your schooling, your scolding, your teaching, your building and your infinite love for us all.

Papa, I pray that my basket of thanksgiving and praise is sweet smelling and acceptable in your presence today. Be glorified and honored in Jesus name I pray, thanks and praise. Amen!

Beautiful People, what are you thankful

to God for this very day?

Much Love, Remi

31 Days Thanksgiving & Praise - DAY 1

Oh, that men would praise [and confess to]
the Lord for His goodness and loving-kindness
and His wonderful works to the children of men!
Psalm 107:8

… and we have lift off!! The heavens are opened, Father is listening and we are ready in earnest to present to Him our thanksgiving and praise. We are ready to lay down, daily at his feet, our basket of thanksgiving and praise, making Him famous as we finish this year strong! You all ready?

Ah! Where do I start to thank you my Almighty Father, the one who was, who is and who is to come. The one and only king of kings and Lord of Lords. The I AM that I AM. The one who is the beginning and the end and the one who has kept me and everyone dear to me from January 01 till now. How do I begin to thank a God whose mercies and grace is beyond comprehension?

Today dear Lord, I say a big thank you for giving me another opportunity to roll off another 31 Days Thanksgiving and praise Woo hoo! It has been a very turbulent year, but I am still standing.

I thank you tat despite a year filled with lots of Everest to climb, Jordan to swim across, the valley to trail through and the desert to trudge through, I am still standing. I am still here and it is not by my might nor by my power, but by yours my wonderful Father. Your grace, your love, has kept me. Your gentle spirit has taught me along the way, to trust you without any doubt and things will be alright. And they did and are still turning out alright.

Papa, this year you taught me to live out the reality of Psalm 62:2, which says "He only is my Rock and my Salvation, my Defense and my Fortress, I shall not be greatly moved". Indeed you have been and continue to be this for me.

You also taught me the reality of Psalm 62:5, which says "My soul, wait only upon God and silently submit to Him; for my hope and expectation are from Him" Yes, you taught and are teaching me the humbling experience of what it means to really, and truly wait on you and have TOTAL expectation on and from you.

However, one of the greatest lessons you taught me this year resides in Psalm 62:8 which reads "Trust in, lean on, rely on, and have confidence in Him at all times, you people; pour out your hearts before Him. God is a refuge for us (a fortress and a high tower). Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!".

You see I realise that I would always talk to you and tell you my problems or simply how I felt, but I never really totally POURED my heart out to you, but you taught me the difference and I love you papa for doing that. The result is TOTAL freedom. You see we always think we are free, until we truly experience freedom.

So Papa, today, the first day of our 31 Days thanksgiving and praise I say a a big 'THANK YOU'! THANK YOU for keeping me, teaching me, blessing me with your presence and wonderful knowledge. I say THANK YOU for preserving my life and those dear to me, from January 01 till now. Thank you for another opportunity to count down 31 days in Thanksgiving and praise to you. May we forever praise, give glory and honor to your holy name.

Lord, today, I place my basket of Thanksgiving and prise at your feet. Father Lord, my wonderful saviour, the best teacher there is, I pray that my offering of thanksgiving and praise is acceptable and sweet smelling in your sight. In the mighty name of Jesus I pray, thanks and praise.
