6 Come, let’s worship and bow down!
Let’s kneel before the Lord,
our maker!
7 He is our God,
and we are the people of his pasture,
the sheep in his hands.
7 He is our God,
and we are the people of his pasture,
the sheep in his hands.
If
only you would listen to his voice right now! Psalm 95:6-7
Common English Bible (CEB)
And so it appears that we have now arrived at the last month of the year
and what a year it has been. There have been many things that have happened
that even if the most respected prophet had foretold it, we would have still
had doubts.
On all fronts, family, career, nation or even the world there may have been things we never bargained
for but they have come and gone and we are still here.
This year, some of us have lost loved ones that we never thought would
happen in forty years, some by sickness and some have just been snatched away
by the cruel hands of death through road traffic accidents or men from the
underworld.
But before we go on and on about what happened and did not happen, I
always like to sit back and say Lord we are grateful. A friend of mine for the
past 7 years or more always gives every day of the month of December to Thanksgiving. She
encourages us daily with something for us to be grateful for and if in this
last month of the year, you think you have nothing to Thank God, Thank God for
me, yes seriously but let me encourage you to Thank God first for yourself,
that you are alive and as long as you are alive, no matter what may be happening
today, according to God’s word, it will only get better, no matter how crazy it
may look now.
Where am I getting that confidence from you may ask and I make it bold
to say it is purely because God’s word
says so(Proverbs 4:18).The
path of the righteous can only shine brighter and brighter like the dawning of
a new day. No matter what is happening in the
world today, the dawn always breaks and the day goes brighter and if that has
not been broken, God’s covenant word over your life shall come to pass and with
that, I welcome you to December, the month we celebrate our saviour’s birth. Come,
let us bow and kneel before our Lord our maker, bring him your personal praise today
for He is indeed your personal God.
In His Service,
Grace Tom-Lawyer.
