David's Daily Devotion for November 21

November 21, 2022 - Good Morning! It’s Monday, November 21.

Did you go to church yesterday? If you did, then I can guess what the theme of the service was - thankfulness! Our new interim pastor, Tim Watson, preached a sermon called “Thanksgiving in Three Tenses.” He reminded us that Jesus Christ has been faithful in the past. He’s faithful in the present. And He will be faithful in the future. It reminded me of Hebrews 13:8 - “Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today, and forever.”

Last night our church was part of a Community Thanksgiving Service. A big crowd, with all kinds of people, all kinds of faiths, met for an hour of praise, preaching, prayer... and pies! A pie fellowship followed an inspiring service. It was all about the church with a capital “C." It was all about giving thanks for the saving grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, a gift given to us all. It reminded me of Ephesians 3:20-21.

"To Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever! Amen."

I'm thankful today for His grace and for His church!

Meet you back here tomorrow,
Bro. David
