Today’s Encouragement (8-9-16) – Be Thankful
Today’s daily encouraging bible verse:
“15 For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all God’s people, 16 I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers
Ephesians 1:15-16
Today’s daily encouraging song:
MIKESCHAIR – All I Can Do (thank you)
Today’s challenge for the believer:
Today’s challenge is about being thankful.
Step one – take 10 to 15 minutes at some point today to pray with God. During the prayer time share with him all of the things you are grateful for. Give him praise for the wonderful things that he has blessed you with, and the important people that he has surrounded you with.
Step two – Tell as many people as you can today, why you are thankful that they are in your life. There is no set number on this, but if you are a competitive person, have fun with that. Set yourself a goal. Personally I am going to try and thank 15 people today. Let me also encourage you to thank people who work very hard, yet received very little in return.For example telling a teacher how much they mean to you can go along way.
Remember to leave a comment, sharing with us how this experience was for you. Look forward to hearing how it went
A little background on the bible verse:
Who is speaking – Paul
Who is he speaking to – The Ephesians
What is he telling them – He Is letting them know that he has not stopped thinking about them. That he is continuing to pray for them daily and is proud of their commitment to Jesus. He reminds them to be in prayer and to be thankful to God for all that he has given us, but also to be thankful to those in our lives who have been a blessing to us.
