About-Him.Com Devotional 11-23-2002
3rd in a 3 part
series on thankfulness:
John 1:12 But as many as
received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, [even] to them
that believe on his name:
I thank God that I have had the
previlege to become a son of God, simply because I believed on the name of
Jesus; the name that is above every name. I thank Him that when every knee will
bow unto Him (Isaiah 45:11; Romans 14:11; Phillippians 2:10), I will be able to
bow in holy reverence, rather than in fear. As a child, His name was called over
me in the waters of baptism. I didn't realize the full significance of it then,
but His name grows more precious to me every passing day. I thank God that I
have come to appreciate the power and authority that is at the Christian's
disposal, simply at the mention of His name (Mark 16:17-18; Acts 3:6,16;
4:7-13,30; Ephesians 1:21, Phillippians 2:9-11).
As we mentioned last week, I thank
Him for His indwelling Spirit that leads me in the
through the difficulities of life
and has instilled a desire to be like Him.
II Peter 1:3 According as
his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and
godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and
virtue:
4 Whereby are given unto
us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of
the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through
lust.
I thank Him
for His promises that allow me to know that there is something greater waiting
for us, namely eternal life with Him.
1 John 2:25 And this is the promise that he hath promised us, [even] eternal life. 1 John 3:2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth
not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we
shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
To sum in all up: We thank God
for who and what He is, what He has done for us by becoming our Savior, and
for the sustaining power of His Spirit that keeps us in this present world
and keeps us looking forward for appearing of our great God and Savior (Titus
2:13).

You can't fool
the kids in Sunday school; they are way too smart...
"If I sold my house and my car, had a big garage sale, and gave all my money to the church, would I get into heaven?" I asked the children in my Sunday school class. "NO!" all the children answered. "If I cleaned the church every day, mowed the yard, and kept everything neat and tidy, would I get into heaven?" Again the answer was, "NO!" "Well," I continued, "then how can I get to heaven?" A five-year-old boy shouted, "You gotta be dead!" Quote
