Today’s Scripture: All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God. 2 Corinthians 4:15 NIV
WOW! Have you ever thought about CAUSING thanksgiving? Can we get lost in our own thanksgivings so that we forget what we are to reflect and display to others?
Why has God shown His light into our darkness; to only make us personally better? Did Jesus just come to save us to be saved? 2 Corinthians 4 sheds God’s light on our purpose. When we share our stories, our testimonies to others of how God shined His light into our darkness we CAN cause others to realize it is GOD and NOT us.
As fragile jars of clay, people will see that our light can NOT possibly be from our own doings but point them to the glory of God. May we pray to cause thanksgiving as we share God’s blessings on us for the purpose of causing thanksgiving to overflow for others so they too may know the glory of God!
Are you causing thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God?
Today’s Prayer: Almighty God, thank You for shining Your light into my darkness! LORD, forgive me for when I have consumed Your thanksgivings. LORD help me to share and cause thanksgiving to overflow to Your glory. I pray others see You in my thanksgivings and that I display Jesus. Amen
