Have you ever experienced a ringing in your ear, not of bells, but words, phrases, or something else? When it kept on ringing, did it cause you to finally stop and listen? Did it may you wonder, why is this ringing continuing? That’s what I asked myself when I was constantly hearing this phrase in my ear, ‘Celebrate Jesus’. Here’s the result after I stopped and paid attention to the ringing in my ear… my spiritual ear: I’ve been inspired to invite you during these next 12 days coming up to Christmas, an opportunity to celebrate Jesus with me. And I hope you will invite someone else.
Yes, you, my friends, are invited to a party to celebrate the birth of Jesus! All are welcome. Just saying, when I go to a party, I go for one reason only… to celebrate. Whether it be a person, thing, or something else, I go with the intention of celebrating, having a good time! What about you? I can guarantee, if you click on for the next 12 days before Christmas, you will not be disappointed. From these next 12 posts, if you haven’t been celebrating Jesus, I pray you will gain a deep desire to begin and continue to celebrate Him throughout your life.
I’m not asking you to bring anything, only yourself and a willing spirit to celebrate Jesus. No worries, I will bring all the content necessary for the party, which is God’s Holy Scripture, which gives us the freedom to celebrate in a way that is pleasing to Him. You can pray, jump, clap, sing or shout. It’s up to you. So, come on, and let’s have a great time! I pray you realize Jesus is worthy of all praise! After all, He is the reason for the season!
Now, to begin, on this Day 1, let us celebrate in scripture that Jesus is Emmanuel, God With Us. Here’s the content:
“Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign.
Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son,
and shall call his name Immanuel.”Isaiah 7:14, ESV
Now, go for it! Simply pray and meditate on the above scripture. Afterwards, celebrate by first thanking God what the Holy Spirit has revealed to you about Jesus. By doing this, you have arrived at the party and is now in full blown celebration mode. I hope you have a great time celebrating Jesus today! I’d love to hear about the great time you had!
He is the Lord, the Blesser, a true, loving, and confident friend.
Remember to be thankful, for who God is to you.
He is the Creator, Comforter, and your Deliverer too.
Remember to be thankful, along life journey’s way,
To the Everlasting Father, who’s alive and here to stay!
“Remember also your creator in the days of our youth, before the evil days come and the years draw near of which you will say, “I have no pleasure in them.” Ecc.12:1, ESV
Please pray with me: I will keep on thanking and remembering God for who He is, in Jesus name, amen.
Welcome to keeponthanking.com. Every post and every word I share is with the intention of encouraging someone towards salvation in Christ, and also to develop a deep sense of gratitude for who He is, and for what He has done. That said, some may think that November is the “tis the season to be thankful’ month. But no, not only this season, but every day.
I’m so grateful God laid this book “Something to Thank About from A to Z” on my heart a few years ago, and it’s still very much available to you today online. A simple but profound reminder to thank God for God. I’ve learned it’s always good to remember to thank God every day for who He is and for what He has done. For there is power in who He is. There is power in His name. I encourage you to never miss a day to thank God for Himself.
For this month I will be posting a number of Gratitude Nuggets on Remembering to Thank God. I hope you tap in.
My book, Something to Thank About from A to Z is available on:
xulonpress.com, amazon.com, and barnesandnoble.com If you haven’t received a copy, I encourage you to get yours today and be blessed.
“I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart: I will recount all of your wonderful deeds. I will be glad and exult in you; I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.” Psalm 9:1-2 ESV
Please pray with me: Everyday I will keep on thanking God for who He is, in Jesus name, amen.
Keeponthanking.com welcomes you back! I hope you’ve had a great summer. To began this fall season, I want to ask the question: What’s your choice? That said, I hope you made good choices this summer and will continue on through the fall season.
On occasion, we’ve heard the phrase, “The choice is yours.” Well, how nice is that, to be given a choice! I have a choice right now to write this post or not. I thank God I have this choice because, I love to freely share inspirations that can make a positive impact in other’s lives.
Everyday we wake up, we are given choices. A choice of what to put on… how short or how long. How loose or how tight, hoping to get that garment to feel just right. We have the choice to eat at home or dine out; get a scope of ice cream or to go without. We have the choice of where to go. What direction to take. What to say or not to say. Also, how to say what we say, all in a given day. We have the choice of how we think; positive or negative, good or bad. No matter what, the choice is yours to be happy or sad.
Just to say, we’ve been given unlimited choices everyday. We even have the choice of seeking God throughout the day; His face, guidance, direction, and voice. That said, what’s your choice? I hope to encourage you to pay attention to your choices. Some can make the difference between having a good day or a bad day. I hope you’ll agree, by choosing God’s guidance, you’re on your way to making the best choice of the day.
“Seek the Lord and his strength; seek his presence continually!” I Chronicles 16:11, ESV.
“Who is the man who fears the Lord? Him will he instruct in the way that he shall choose. Psalm 25:12, ESV.
Please pray with me: Dear Lord, I will keep on thanking you for your guidance to make good choices, in Jesus name, amen.
As Christians our goal is to always give God the glory. So do you sometimes think about ways you can give Him the glory from your life experiences, good or bad? Sometimes I do. And for me, they can come in unexpected ways or moments. For instance, just like today, I never expected this to happen to me on a quiet easy drive home… I almost got sideswiped! Let me ask you, have you ever been a passenger in a vehicle that almost was sideswiped? Like some, I’ve been a passenger, but never the driver, until today! A terrifying moment, I say the lease.
You may be familiar with the phrase, “Jesus Take the Wheel.” Well, when I was almost sideswiped today, I believe Jesus took my wheel. As my car had to swiftly maneuver into the next lane in order to avoid the oncoming vehicle’s impact, it was quite shocking! I felt as if I was moving in slow motion. I felt I had lost control. But praise be to God, something happened. Miraculously my car quickly swerved out of the oncoming car path, holding steady until the danger was passed. That said, I want to give God all the glory from this experience, because I have no doubt it was He who was covering and protecting me, guiding my feeble hands on the wheel. This is why I’m able and so thankful to share this post. This surely was a close call, but all in all, Jesus took the wheel and protected me. Oh, so grateful!
“The Lord will keep your going out and your coming in from this time forth and forevermore.”Psalm 121:8 ESV
Please pray with me: Dear Lord, I will keep on thanking you for your guidance and protection as I come and go, in Jesus name, amen.
Is it as simple as the Bible say, to trust God? And, yes, sometimes we struggle with this. Some may think it is not so simple to trust God because of what they’re going through seems insurmountable. But let me encourage us to keep on trusting God. For His Holy Word is admonishing us all to do just that. He is faithful. Some may ask, do you mean to trust a God that we can’t see? Trust a God who works in mysterious ways, His wonders to perform? Trust a God whose ways are not like our ways and whose thoughts are not like our thoughts? Trust a God that does things His way? I say to you, by all means, this is the God the Holy Bible is calling us to put all our trust in. The one and only True and Living God.
No matter what we see and hear, know that God knows. Trust God to do what we can’t do. Trust God to see what we can’t see. Trust God to go where we can’t go. Trust God to know what we don’t know. Trust God to be where we can’t be. Trust God to fix what we can’t fix. Let us put all our trust in Him and see what a Mighty God, He is!
“Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord God is an everlasting rock.” Isaiah 26:4 (ESV).
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding…” Proverbs 3:5 (ESV)
Please pray with me: Dear Lord, I will keep on thanking you and trusting in you, in Jesus name, amen.
Happy 4th of July to all. Just wanted to share a simple thought that rose in my spirit this morning, it’s so good to be free! Like a bird caught in a bush and finally finding it’s way to freedom can appreciate the ability to fly again, we too can appreciate the freedom that being ‘set free’ brings. When we couldn’t free ourselves, this is what Jesus did for all. He set us free from the entanglement of the bush of sin. He set us free, enabling us to fly again. Now… we are free to love and serve one another. So please join me and say, “It’s so good to be free.” Thank you Jesus for freeing me. Free to come, free to go, and free to come and go, again, in love and service to for you.
“For you were called to freedom, brothers. only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.” Galatians 5:13.
Please pray with me: Dear Lord, I will keep on thanking you for the freedom I have in Christ, in your name, amen.
May the blessings of the Lord be with you always! Have a safe and Happy 4th of July!
Keep on Thanking
