Greetings to all, on this "grateful" Thursday, let us acknowledge all that the Lord has done for us and give Him some praise. Amen
We all have a desire to receive from the Lord, and He is deserving of never-ending praises for all He's done, is doing, and yet to do for us. There's a saying that says:
"If He doesn't do another thing for me, He's done enough."
We know that nothing is impossible for Jesus; however, it's our faith and obedience that will open the doors to the possibilities for us to receive from the Lord.
Luke 17:11-19 (NRSV)
11 On the way to Jerusalem Jesus was going through the region between Samaria and Galilee.
12 As he entered a village, ten lepers approached him. Keeping their distance,
13 they called out, saying, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!"
14 When he saw them, he said to them, "Go and show yourselves to the priests." And as they went, they were made clean.
15 Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God with a loud voice.
16 He prostrated himself at Jesus' feet and thanked him. And he was a Samaritan.
17 Then Jesus asked, "Were not ten made clean? But the other nine, where are they?
18 Was none of them found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?"
19 Then he said to him, "Get up and go on your way; your faith has made you well."
Lesson: Don't be the one who only takes or receives, be the one to come back to give the Lord praise for what He does.
