Thanksgiving in January

Good morning!

I wanted to start the day with sharing something that God placed in my heart this morning.

Today I read Psalm 98 and 99, and as I was reading these two passages, and as I finished and began to pray, God instructed me of something…
“This has to be your attitude every Monday morning, an attitude of thanksgiving, an attitude of gratitude, praise to me and exalting my name.” (How majestic is His whisper)

Wow! I was strucked with those words… that with Gods grace every Monday, I want to dedicate it to thanking God for all the blessings, in my life, I want to be so focused on exalting his name that I will not be able to concentrate on the traffic, or people going super fast at the school zones…lol., Monday should be dedicated to thanking Him, our Father for all he has done and is going to do. I’m ready for today with my note pad on the left of my desk, ready to write down all the praises I have for God.

Monday is Monday but not when God is being exalted!
God Bless

Psalm 98
1 Sing to the LORD a new song,
for he has done marvelous things;
his right hand and his holy arm
have worked salvation for him.

2 The LORD has made his salvation known
and revealed his righteousness to the nations.

3 He has remembered his love
and his faithfulness to the house of Israel ;
all the ends of the earth have seen
the salvation of our God.

4 Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth,
burst into jubilant song with music;

5 make music to the LORD with the harp,
with the harp and the sound of singing,

6 with trumpets and the blast of the ram's horn—
shout for joy before the LORD, the King.

7 Let the sea resound, and everything in it,
the world, and all who live in it.

8 Let the rivers clap their hands,
Let the mountains sing together for joy;

9 let them sing before the LORD,
for he comes to judge the earth.
He will judge the world in righteousness
and the peoples with equity.


Psalm 99

1 The LORD reigns,
let the nations tremble;
he sits enthroned between the cherubim,
let the earth shake.

2 Great is the LORD in Zion ;
he is exalted over all the nations.

3 Let them praise your great and awesome name—
he is holy.

4 The King is mighty, he loves justice—
you have established equity;
in Jacob you have done
what is just and right.

5 Exalt the LORD our God
and worship at his footstool;
he is holy.

6 Moses and Aaron were among his priests,
Samuel was among those who called on his name;
they called on the LORD
and he answered them.

7 He spoke to them from the pillar of cloud;
they kept his statutes and the decrees he gave them.

8 O LORD our God,
you answered them;
you were to Israel a forgiving God,
though you punished their misdeeds.

9 Exalt the LORD our God
and worship at his holy mountain,
for the LORD our God is holy.
