This week, I want to thank the Lord for different things He has provided. I’m starting with family because your family will share joy, be there for one another in times of disappointment, and share values of this life that are right and true, making us faithful to the Lord Jesus. Family will stick with you when you have totally messed your life up. Family will forgive quicker than others. Family will help you when there isn’t anyone else to help. God ordained the family to be that way and I am thankful for both of mine; my human family and my church family.
In Daniel 2:23, the Word of God says, “I thank thee, and praise thee, O thou God of my fathers, who hast given me wisdom and might, and hast made known unto me now what we desired of thee: for thou hast now made known unto us the king's matter.“ What makes family great is the God of the family! It’s not Grandma or Grandpa. It’s not Mom or Dad. It’s not the Children or Grandchildren. It’s God and God alone!
Today, be thankful for the family God has provided for you! But even more than them, be thankful to the Lord for giving them to you. I sure am thankful for mine because they have helped me become the man that I am!
