This week's "Reflection" by Gary Keith, Pastor of Teaching & Worship
This weekend we started a four part series on "The Language of Thankfulness." Our goal was to start our time by focusing on God. Without considering the things God does for us and the things God gives us, we can give thanks for who God is. Psalm 100 gave us four reasons to thank God. He is our creator, He is good, His unfailing love continues forever, and His faithfulness continues to each generation.
Which one of those four has the most meaning to you? How can you spend some time this week just thanking God for who He is? To go deeper, review the bulletin insert and the attributes of God listed there. Take some time this week to ponder those attributes and then in your own words express your thanks to God for everything He is.
"He is good" has the most meaning to me right now. I can't tell you how many times in the last few weeks especially I've told people who were despairing over the election, financial problems, family or personal illnesses that "God is good and He's in control." I've reminded myself of that a few times as well.
