Help Meet’s Helper

Whatever happened to the “old fashioned” courtesy of sending a thank you note?  In the last few years we have sent gifts to weddings, graduations, and birthdays. Short of calling and asking we have no idea if the gifts were even received. There has been no acknowledgement of its receipt. 

Have you ever failed to acknowledge a gift?  Think about this.  What gifts has God given you lately? Are you breathing? Have you thanked Him? Do you have His Word to read? Have you thanked Him? Are you having something to eat tonight? Will you thank Him? Have you thanked Him for saving you? Have you thanked Him at all today?

There are 71 verses in the Bible that use the word thanks. Every one of them refers to giving thanks to God.

When you pray do you just ask for things or do you spend time in His presence thanking Him for all He has done and is doing in your life?   Have we taken all our Father has given us for granted?

How about “writing” a thank you note to God and giving it to Him in your prayers today?

This chat was prompted by a sermon preached on 5/27 by Bro. David Coe at Heritage Baptist Church, Latham, NY, during the 10:00 AM service of their Bible Conference. Thank you, Bro. Coe.
