Yom Ham-i-shi, Av 10, 6002 – August 3, 2017

Gratitude Is Attitude

Sometimes the best pay for a job well done is receiving a heartfelt “Thank you” from the person receiving the benefit of the work. I can think of a number of times at work or in interactions with others away from work when a boss or a new acquaintance said these words. Something happens on the inside that makes us want to do even more. Given that we are created in God’s image and likeness, I can only imagine that He has a similar response. And He is certainly worthy of the thanks.

Psalms 107:1 O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
2 Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;
3 And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south.
4 They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in.
5 Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.
6 Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses.
7 And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.
8 Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
9 For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.

Let us remember today to thank our Father for all He has done, and then watch as He reacts with even greater ouutreach to us.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King! Praise the name Yahuah! Let Your will be done here as it is in heaven. Send us Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed and transgressed against us. Wipe away our thoughts and memories of evil done to us or that we have done. Replace these with thoughts and memories of only You. Deliver us from the evil here. So much has been taken from Your people that is the good You meant for us to have, or held back. Help us, Yah! Rise up and restore all these things one hundredfold, and the more besides. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). We ask all these things in Your name, in the name Yah we ask. Amen.
