CGMI ABOVE ONLY - Thank God For Life

Thank God For Life! Tuesday November 1

Matthew 6:25 &26 (AMP) “Therefore I tell you, stop being worried or anxious (perpetually uneasy, distracted) about your life… Is life not more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air; they neither sow [seed] nor reap [the harvest] nor gather [the crops] into barns, and yet your heavenly Father keeps feeding them. Are you not worth much more than they? The next time you are tempted to become worried about anything in your life, stop and thank God for the fact that you have life! Do you know that having life is actually more important than having whatever you may be tempted to be worried about? Because you have life, you have hope! Ecclesiastes 9:4 (NIV) says, anyone who is among the living has hope-even a live dog is better off than a dead lion! Do you realise that the same God that gives you life is beyond able to address that temptation that burdens your heart and mind? Now, if you believe in Jesus, you don't just have life like every other human being does; you actually have the very life of God. He is your Father and you are His very beloved son or daughter just like Christ. In Matthew 7:11 Jesus reminds us that if earthly fathers can give good gifts to their children, your Heavenly Father will also give you good things when you ask Him. The God who feeds birds that do not sow or reap and clothes the lilies of the field with more glory than what Solomon was clothed with will feed you and clothe you even more. These plants and animals do not work or maintain a relationship with God; yet God takes care of them. You that can work and maintain a relationship with God will surely experience abundant care and blessings from God. As you continue to thank God for both your life and for the privilege of having Him as your Father, divine strength and faith would be stirred up in you. God will also continue to bless and preserve your life. PRAYER FOCUS : Thank God for giving you life and for being your Father. By faith, make your requests known unto Him who is able.
