Lord, stamp eternity on my eyeballs.
From Romans 5:21: “So that, just as sin exercised dominion in death, so grace might also exercise dominion through justification leading to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”

Prior to the arrival of Thanksgiving, a nearby church sign reminds all of us with a provocative message, but it can certainly be applied to any given day.
Will you be thankful . . . or just full?
From Psalm 136:1: “O give thanks to the Lord, for He is good, and His steadfast love endures forever.”

Never support experience which does not have God as its source, and faith in God as its result.
From James 2:14-17: “What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if you say you have faith but do not have works? Can faith save you? If a brother or sister is naked and lacks daily food, and one of you says to them, ‘Go in peace; keep warm and eat your fill,’ and yet you do not supply their bodily needs, what is the good of that? So faith by itself, if it has no works, is dead.”
From 1 Thessalonians 5:15-18: “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”

In the year 1621, the Pilgrims held their first Thanksgiving feast. They invited the great Indian chief Massasoit, who brought ninety of his brave Indians and a great abundance of food. Governor William Bradford and Captain Miles Standish were honored guests. Elder William Brewster, who was a minister, said a prayer that went something like this: “We thank God for our homes and our food and our safety in a new land. We thank God for the opportunity to create a new world for freedom and justice.”

My riches consist not in the extent of my possessions but in the fewness of my wants.
From 2 Corinthians 8:9: “For you know the generous act of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, so that by His poverty you might become rich.”

In our faith we follow in someone’s steps. In our faith we have footprints to guide others. It’s the principle of discipleship.
From 1 Timothy 4:12: “Be an example to the believers in Word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity.”

Develop success from failures. Discouragement and failure are two of the surest stepping stones to success.
Any fool can criticize, condemn, and complain but it takes character and self-control to be understanding and forgiving.

Our hope in Christ for the future is the mainstream of our joy.
From Psalm 23:5-6: You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord my whole life long.”

Life is like a ten-speed bicycle. Most of us have gears we never use.
Don’t worry about the world coming to an end today. It is already tomorrow in Australia.

There must be complete and unqualified reliance on the Living Lord. In other words, one must develop the discipline of surrender.
From Psalm 62:5: “For God alone my soul waits in silence, for my hope is from Him.”
