A Heart of Thanksgiving
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever.—Psalm 107:1 (NIV)
CHRISTMAS IS A time of renewal. Pause and ask yourself: How obedient am I to God’s Will and His Word? When defiance or selfish impulses crowd your thoughts, remember an honest, uncomplaining carpenter named Joseph and try to follow the example he has left us.
Heavenly Father, give us the wisdom to know Your Will for us and the obedience to follow.

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever.—Psalm 107:1 (NIV)

Let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.—Galatians 6:9 (ESV)

Live as free people, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as God’s slaves. Show proper respect to everyone, love the family of believers, fear God…—1 Peter 2:16–17 (NIV)
