Thanking God For My Country

Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. Colossians 4:2 NIV Bible Gateway 

As I sit on a fairly peaceful flight between Cincinnati and Boise at 35000 feet gazing at the landscape below I am awestruck with God’s creation as well as the creativity and intelligence He bestowed upon humans. 

I am thankful for freedoms of all kinds. I am thankful for family. I am thankful for friends. I am thankful for my life. I am thankful for good health. 

If you are experiencing heart ache of some sort today lean in to God and remember He loves you. Don’t be envious of the good fortune of others but ask Him to use you just where you are. If you feel angry at something get rid of that as it poisons your soul. Forgive those you have wronged and be kind to your enemies. 

PRAYER: Lord wrap your arms around those who are hurting or beat down by life. Help those people also who have trouble being joyful. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
