Twelve Days of Thanksgiving — G

G is for God

Everyone has heard of the 12 Days of Christmas.  I thought I would do my version of the 12 days of Thanksgiving.  Thanksgiving:  the act of giving thanks; a prayer of gratitude to God.

God is good, God is great and His love we shall not hate. 

God is jealous, God is just and He will punish us for lust.

God is righteous, God is true and He is faithful to me and you.

God is King, God is Lord and His word is more powerful than a two-edged sword.

God is omnipotent, God is wise; our sin we cannot hide from His eyes.

God is foreknowing, God is here; He is Most High, whom we shall fear.

God created heaven, God created earth; He is the reason for our human birth.

God is long-suffering and gives us free will to choose eternal life or to choose evil.

God of the Bible, God has eternal power; His Son will return, which no one knows the hour.

God is unchangeable, He cleans our heart; confession of sin is the place to start.

God Almighty has vengeance and wrath; sin means death when we continue down that path.

God has mercy, He gave us His Son, to die for our sins and the payment is done.

Today is Thanksgiving and we have so much to be Thankful for; our Healthy-Lifestyle after we acknowledged the Atonement of Jesus Christ and the Necessity of accepting Him for the Kindness He showed us with His Self-sacrifice.  For the Grace shown us each day when we fall under the chains of Idolatry and forget to remember the Vagabond showing Ignorance to God’s Word. For He is always faithful and true because without Him we are Nothing.  Thank You, God for everything.

Happy Thanksgiving and God bless you all.
