Topic: Thanksgiving 2
Text: 2 Corinthians 3:5 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think of anything as [being] from ourselves, but our sufficiency [is] from God,
Last week, the LORD asked us to attain a heart posture of gratitude. This week, He is insisting on us becoming grateful for the things He has done for us. So, He has impressed it upon my heart to spend another week to study thanksgiving.
Considering the text for this week, we see that Paul, as mighty as he was actually needed the input of God before He could be effective. The same goes for us too. God has been our sufficiency on all sides and that's why we should be grateful.
In Psalms 48, the sons of Korah, who wrote the book declares that our God is beautiful for situation which means that there is no prayer request that gets to God's table and He won't know what to do!
Another way to explain this is to use the analogy of a nursing mother. The woman is all the baby has and she provides everything the baby needs. The mother feeds this baby anytime which increases the dependency of the baby on the mother.
Spiritually, the more we depend on God, the better it is. Our God is the all-breasted one which means that everything you need can be found in Him. This is a great cause for celebration because in every situation, He is reliable.
I urge you to celebrate God for standing by us at all times
Have a great week
The Coming Of The Lord Is Near
