Evidences of Grace

We are so thankful for all the ways that God has been generous to us. And because we so quickly forget with each new hurdle I though I would recount God's kindness to us of late that we and others would become more thankful!

God's generosity

How might we remain thankful? This is a questions Pip and I often struggle with as we constantly forget the goodness of God towards us. It is scripture time and time again that draws us back to a right thankfulness to God. One constant reminder comes from Psalm 73 where david recounts God as his treasure:


"Nevertheless, I am continually with you;
you hold my right hand.
You guide me with your counsel,
and afterward you will receive me to glory.
Whom have I in heaven but you?
And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you.
My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
For behold, those who are far from you shall perish;
you put an end to everyone who is unfaithful to you.
But for me it is good to be near God;
I have made the Lord God my refuge,
that I may tell of all your works." (Psalm 73:23-28)
