So Many Reasons

As I think about life with our Messiah, there are so many reasons to give thanks. Life could have had no purpose. Each day could be traveled like each other day with nothing to look forward to in the end. In Messiah, we can look to the future with a joyful heart. And that future begins anew each morning. Others may have to be stuck in the past, but we are delivered from our past. We have the joy of a bondage lifted from us each day. If we will begin our days with Him, we can experience that joy.

Psalms 30:1 I will extol thee, O Lord; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.
2 O Lord my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.
3 O Lord, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.
4 Sing unto the Lord, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
5 For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

Our sorrow may come at the end of the day, but in the morning we start fresh. For that we can be thankful.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our king. We praise the name Yahuah! Send us now Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our sins. Heal us inside, that we might sign to You. Give us sweet voices to sing Your praise. Deliver us from the thief. Restore unto Your people one hundred times one hundredfold. We ask these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.
