Let's Give Thanks to God through Our Faithfulness. Amen.



Proverbs 28:14 says,

"Blessed is the man who always fears the LORD, but he who hardens his heart falls into trouble."

As we give thanks, let us renew our commitment to a life of faithfulness to Our God.

Steve Green puts the message well:



Here are the lyrics to "Find Us Faithful" as performed by Steve Green

We're pilgrims on the journey
Of the narrow road
And those who've gone before us line the way
Cheering on the faithful, encouraging the weary
Their lives a stirring testament to God's sustaining grace

Surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses
Let us run the race not only for the prize
But as those who've gone before us
Let us leave to those behind us
The heritage of faithfulness passed on through godly lives

CHORUS:
Oh may all who come behind us find us faithful
May the fire of our devotion light their way
May the footprints that we leave
Lead them to believe
And the lives we live inspire them to obey

Oh may all who come behind us find us faithful

After all our hopes and dreams have come and gone
And our children sift through all we've left behind
May the clues that they discover and the memories they uncover
Become the light that leads them to the road we each must find

CHORUS

Oh may all who come behind us find us faithful
Oh may all who come behind us find us faithful


It would be a good idea to show a rendition of Bunyan's book, Pilgrim's Progress, to our children and grandchildren today. This will give them a capsulized view of the "Big" picture of life and the Christian's faith walk. Then, let's give thanks to God for so great a Salvation He has afforded us through His Amazing Grace. Amen!

Giving Thanks to God!
