Today’s Scripture: In that same hour he rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and said, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to little children; yes, Father, for such was your gracious will. Luke 10:21 ESV
These were the words of Jesus, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth,”. Can we say anything less? Jesus was rejoicing in the Holy Spirit, shouldn’t we do the same?
Jesus was giving His thanksgivings to God here in Luke 10 as He was speaking to those He had sent out to spread the gospel. They had just returned and were amazed in the miracles they could perform in His name.
His thanksgiving was also a warning to them to keep their thanksgivings in heaven and not in what they could do here on earth. Although blessed, do not be thankful in the blessings but be thankful to the Father, the Lord of heaven and earth the source of our thanksgivings.
May we be reminded today to be thankful in the Lord over our thanksgivings of things here on earth.
Are your thanksgivings directed to our Father in Heaven?
Today’s Prayer: I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth. I rejoice in Your Holy Spirit for who You are. You LORD are the source of thanksgiving. I offer my thanksgivings to You. Thank You for giving us the miracles of Jesus and the ability to perform Your miracles. I keep my thanksgivings in You. Amen
