There is a way to live the big of giving thanks in all things. It is this: to give thanks in this one small thing. The moments will add up. I, too, had read it often, the oft-quoted verse: “And give thanks for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ”

Ephesians 5:20

 

Yesterday, I was caught in a brief downpour while driving to the local market. That rain couldn’t have been more welcome. First, because we need it to replenish our reservoir, so thank You LORD!  Second, I had the biggest splash of “bird poo” on my windshield that wouldn’t come off, no matter how many times I used my wiper fluid!  It seemed to hang on, and weathered the detergent overload that I repeated about ten times.  It wasn’t budging.  That was until the downpour came and washed it all away!  So, thank you LORD!

Giving thanks and acknowledgement to the LORD, for all things big and small is a way to express adoration, exaltation, and appreciation to our Sovereign King. It is a way of fine tuning into a greater perspective ,of who our LORD really is. It is His infinite wisdom, and prolific power, that garnishes all aspects of our existence, today, tomorrow, always.

When we realize that we cannot undertake anything without Him, in the equation of our life, we begin to gain traction into our Christianity, hence, our roots of spirituality, inherently deepen.

Giving thanks for all things, each day from the moment we wake, to the moment we turn in for the night, is a way to honor Him, love Him, and worship Him.

So the next time you have something going on, no matter how insignificant you may think it is—remember—There isn’t anything too big, or too small for our God to handle!

“Abba Father, thank You for all things big and small in my life, and for  Your grace and love while guiding me through it all, all glory and honor belong to You my LORD forever and always, in Jesus name, Amen.”
