Still I have so much to be thankful for. No one requires me to be a reigning King. I need not give my life this day for the good of others. I do not need to apologize for foolishness which costs others greatly. I am as strong as the consequences of my best choices. I am as weak as my harshest failures. Yet it is not all about me. It is about Jesus Christ, my Savior. He is the Messiah of God almighty. His sacrifice alone is sufficient for the debt of sin we owe. Not just you, not just me but all the sin of all who have sin.
His love choice is the only act necessary to atone and propitiate the wrath of the righteous Holy Creator God of the universe. Sin is anything that anyone does that violates God’s laws, His Word. Either God is one hundred percent right and every aspect of your life is one hundred percent in agreement with Him, or you are in sin. You owe the debt. And the debt can only be paid by someone without sin.
I have so much to be thankful for. I have met God and received His free gift of the payment of that debt. I am His child. He is all that matters, all that is of consequence, all I want to be consumed with. Tomorrow we sing of Him and to Him with many others who know Him and believe Him. Tomorrow we teach from His written Word the examples of those went lived for Him before. Some who served well, some who faltered, but all who trusted Him, knew Him. So it will be a good day. Each day that we set aside to acknowledge Him is good. So very Good.
