Title: Enter His Gates with Thanksgiving.

-

Psalm 100:4 "Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name."
Devotion: Thanksgiving is not just an act of gratitude; it is a spiritual key that opens doors to divine blessings and favor. The Word of God encourages us to give thanks in all circumstances, as seen in 1 Thessalonians 5:18: "Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." This act of thanksgiving draws God's attention and invites His presence into our lives.
  Starting prayers with thanksgiving is a powerful practice. It allows us to reflect on God's goodness and recognize His blessings in our lives. Philippians 4:6 reinforces this: "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God." Thanksgiving not only uplifts our spirits but also fills our hearts with cheerfulness, as expressed in Psalm 28:7: "The Lord is my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusts, and I am helped; my heart exults, and with my song I give thanks to him."
  As children of God, we are privileged to dwell in His presence. When we offer Him thanks and bless His name, we stir up His presence to action, making Him ever ready to help us. Hebrews 13:15 encourages us to continually offer a sacrifice of praise: "Through him then let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that acknowledge his name."
  Dear reader, do you have a sacrifice of thanksgiving for God? Reflect on His goodness and share your thoughts on how thanksgiving has impacted your spiritual journey. Let us magnify His name together, as Psalm 69:30 declares: "I will praise the name of God with a song; I will magnify him with thanksgiving."

Title: When your time shall be over, you'll fly away.

Psalms 90:10  The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. Devotional: Late music legend – Peter Tosh sang a song with this title many years ago. It came to mind yesterday while I listened to a beautifully delivered sermon at a burial. I therefore penned this devotional on same title. Do not be deceived, at a point in your life you’ll fly away.   There comes a day when the tapestry of your earthly existence is folded. The moments of struggle, joy, triumph, and trials will all coalesce into a story complete. When that time comes, the soul, unburdened by the weight of the mortal frame, ascends beyond the veil of this world—taking flight toward eternal rest.   You are not bound to the temporal; your essence is celestial. As the Psalmist declared, "The days of our years are threescore years and ten...it is soon cut off, and we ...
