Oh what another magnificent day to thank God for who He is! I’m so excited that we have now arrived at the letter “X” as we continue our journey for Gratitude Gold Nuggets to thank God for who He is according to His Word. Beginning with the letter X, I hope you will join me in thanking and praising Him for being the X-ray of Life; meaning God sees through everything, even the darkness which is light to Him. He also sees beyond what the physical eye can see, on into the spiritual realm of life. He knows what is happening on the outside and on the inside. His Word lets us know He sees to the division of soul and spirit, of joints and marrow, and to the discerning of thoughts and intention of the heart. Also that nothing and no one is hidden from His sight, but all are naked and exposed to Him. Oh what a mighty God we serve!

“If I say, “Surely the darkness shall cover me, and the light about me be night,” even the darkness is not dark to you; the night is bright as the day, for darkness is as light with you” (Psalm 139:11-12, ESV).

“For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account” ( Hebrews 4:12-13, ESV).

Please pray with me: Dear Lord, I will keep on thanking You for who You are! You are the X-ray of Life, the one who sees all, through and through; that nothing is hidden from your sight, in Jesus name, amen.

May the blessings of the Lord be with you today.

I know we’re at the crunch line now with only 5 more alphabets to go… V, W, X, Y, & Z. Being that we’re so close to the finish line, I know anything can happen, but I did not expect this! In the process of writing this post, my keyboard began to get stuck, and I could not type. I immediately called on Jesus for help. After which, He revealed to me what to do, and the keyboard became unstuck! Oh praise His holy name! So please join me as we continue in thanking God for who He is in our search for Gratitude Gold Nuggets; now, beginning with the letter “V”. Let us thank Him for being our Victor by saying the following:

Thanks be to God, He has won the victory through Jesus our Lord! Victory over Satan. Victory over the world. Victory for every little boy and girl.

Victory over death. Victory over flesh. God gave the victory; through Him we can rest.

Victory over the grave. Victory over sin. Because of His great love, the Victor did win!

God is the winner, and I am a recipient of His winning through Jesus Christ our Lord. God our Victor, we say, “Thank you”.

“But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ” (I Corinthians 15:57, ESV).

Please pray with me: Dear Lord, I will keep on thanking You for who You are. You are the Victor, for You have won the victory, in Jesus name, amen. By Hertistine Washington / keeponthanking.com

Yesterday after celebrating America’s 245th birthday, I am again so thankful to celebrate and thank our God everyday for who He is according to His Word. These scriptural Gratitude Gold Nuggets (as I call them) are not lengthy, hopefully making it easier for you to remember who God is. As we approach letter “S”, we are definitely thankful that God is our Sanctifier, Savior, and Shepherd. Being our Sanctifier, God lets us know He has sat us apart to a sacred purpose those who have accepted Him as Savior. He also has saved us from our sins through the shed blood of Jesus Christ the Lord. Not only that, He also shepherds us whom He has sanctified and saved. We can be mighty grateful that God in all His wisdom knew His saved and sanctified children could not make it on their own; they would need a Shepherd to guide, watch over, and care for them in this dark and evil world.

“Keep my statues and do them; I am the Lord who sanctifies you” (Leviticus 20:8,ESV).

“Turn to me and be saved, all the ends of the earth! For I am God, and there is no other” (Isaiah 45:22,ESV).

“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want” Psalm 23:1.ESV).

Please pray with me: Dear Lord, I will keep on thanking You for who You are. Thank You for being my Sanctifier, Savior, and Shepherd, in Jesus name, amen. By Hertistine Washington / Keeponthanking.com.

On this last Monday in the month of June, let us continue our search through scripture for Gratitude Gold Nuggets as to who God is. Can you believe we have now arrived at the 18th letter of the alphabets? It is the letter “R”. Beginning with this letter, I find there are many attributes of God we can be grateful for, such as He being the Redeemer, Reconciler, Resurrection, and Restorer; even to that of being a Resting Place for the restless. In addition to those, I chose to share briefly that God is also our Refuge, Revealer, and Rewarder. The scripture bares record that we should trust Him at all times, and we can pour out our hearts to Him for He is a refuge for us. It also testifies that God is the revealer of deep and hidden things. He sees what we can’t see. He knows what is in darkness, and the light abides in Him. Just as important, whoever comes to God must believe that He exists, and He is a rewarder of those who seek Him. I hope you will join me in the following scriptural nuggets of praise and gratitude for our God.

“Trust in the Lord at all times, O people; pour out your heart before him; God is a refuge for us. Selah” (Psalm 62:8, ESV).

“He reveals deep and hidden things; he knows what is in the darkness, and the light dwells with him” (Daniel 2:22, ESV).

“And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him” (Hebrews 11:6. ESV).

Please pray with me: Dear Lord I will keep on thanking You for who You are. Thank you for being my Refuge, Revealer, and Rewarder in Jesus name, amen. By Hertistine Washington / keeponthanking.com

I’m so grateful again to praise God for another opportunity to thank Him for who He is according to His Word. As we proceed in our search for Gratitude Gold Nuggets, I know you may be wondering, what can we thank God for that begins with letter “Q”?. Well, first of all, we who have accepted Jesus as our personal Savior can declare it is God who qualifies us to share in this great inheritance with the saints; nothing that we have done qualifies us. God is the Qualifier. There is also the guarantee that the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead will also give life to our mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in us. Besides that, the Lord our God has promised to be in the midst, a mighty one who will save, and rejoice over us with gladness, and quiet us by His love.

“Giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in light” (Colossians 1:12, ESV).

“If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you” (Romans 8:11, ESV).

“The Lord your God is in the midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing” (Zephaniah 3:17,ESV).

Please pray with me: Dear Lord, I will keep on thanking You for who You are. You are my Qualifier who quickens me, and quiet my soul with your love, in Jesus name, amen. By Hertistine Washington / keeponthanking.com

Oh what another beautiful day to thank and praise God for who He is according to scripture! As we continue our search for Gratitude Gold Nuggets, I’m excited that we have now arrived at the letter “P”. God’s Word bares record that He is the God of Peace, and He is with us to give us peace at all times in every way. It is His peace that keeps us from being troubled in mind. Besides that, He is also Perfect. Whatever He does is without blemish; there are no flaws or errors in Him. Furthermore, He is Preeminent, the head of the body, the church, the beginning, and the firstborn from the dead, as the following scriptures declare:

“Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in every way. The Lord be with you all” (2 Thessalonians 3:16, ESV).

“You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect” (Matthew 5:48, ESV).

“And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent” (Colossians 1:18,ESV).

Please pray with me: Dear Lord, I will keep on thanking You for who You are because You are the God of Peace; You are Perfect, and You are Preeminent in Jesus name, amen. By Hertistine Washington / keeponthanking.com

Oh what another wonderful day to thank our magnificent God for who He is! As we continue our alphabetical search through scripture for Gratitude Gold Nuggets of our God’s amazing character, we have now arrived at the letter “O”. You will find the scripture bares record that God is Omnipotent (all powerful), Omniscient (all-knowing), and Omnipresent (present everywhere at all times). Oh how we praise His holy name in knowing all power belongs to Him, that there is not a word we can say He doesn’t know beforehand, and that there is no place we can go where He’s not! Be assured God is powerful enough to handle our every need, knows what we’re going through, and has never left our side. By checking our these scriptures references, I believe your gratitude for Him will skyrocket yet again!

“Once God has spoken; twice have I heard this: that power belongs to God” (Psalm 62:11, ESV).

“Even before a word is on my tongue, behold O LORD, You know it altogether” (Psalm 139:4, ESV).

“Where shall I go from your Spirit? Or where shall I flee from your presence? If I ascend to heaven, you are there! If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there! if I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there your hand will lead me, and your right hand shall hold of me” (Psalm 139: 7-10), ESV).

Please pray with me. Dear Lord, I will keep on thanking You because You only are the Omnipotent, Omniscient, and Omnipresent God, who is all powerful, all knowing, and everywhere at all times, in Jesus name, amen. By Hertistine Washington / keeponthanking.com
