šµ For all that You've done, I will thank You
For all the You're going to do
For all that You've promised
And all that You are
Is all that has carried me through
Jesus, I thank You š¶
Oh, may that be true of me!! I was convicted recently when my cousin returned home from a mission trip. We had gathered to pray over her trip before she left. When she came home, it was so sweet to see pictures and hear the stories of all that God had done. We ended the evening laughing, hanging out, and playing games as a family. Later that evening/next day I realized, while we had ooh-ed and aah-ed at all the Lord did - we didnāt thank Him.
Only days before, I had received an answer to prayer over a topic that had been weighing on me for a long time. I was thrilled! I wanted to tell everyone and proclaim His goodness to friends, family, and anyone who would listen. God was faithful. He showed up. He blessed me and answered my prayer way beyond what I had ever expected.
But did I go back and say, āThank you??ā
I want to be like the guy who was healed and came back to say thank you. (Luke 17.11-19) I want to be thankful for what God is GOING to do, but hasnāt yet. I want a heart bent towards thankfulness, not one just focused on things that need fixing.
Thank you Lord for your faithfulness and consistent involvement in my life ā Jesus, I thank You.
