God’s Majesty
For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving.—1 Timothy 4:4 (NIV)
Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that openly profess His name. And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.—Hebrews 13:15–16 (NIV)
LENT IS A time for drawing closer to Jesus. Many give up something this time of year—a small sacrifice to remind them of Jesus’ amazing sacrifice for us. This Lenten season, why not replace a habit of grumbling or complaining with praise. As Hebrews says, we learn to offer praise “through Jesus.”
Heavenly Father help me replace grumblings with contentment and praise.
For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving.—1 Timothy 4:4 (NIV)
“Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst?”—1 Corinthians 3:16 (NIV)
The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God endures forever.—Isaiah 40:8 (NIV)
