In the past several days, I have wished everyone a Happy Thanksgiving Day that was on the way. Well, here we are, today is the Happy Day! One thing I am thanking to God for my children and grandchildren and that they know now, or will know the Lord Jesus as Savior and Lord. You might say to me that your children don't know the Lord Jesus as Savior. Well, I have good news for you this Thanksgiving Day, and here is your lesson for today! Rejoice and be thankful for what you are about to receive!
Jeremiah 31: 16-17: "Thus saith the Lord; refrain thy voice from weeping, and thine eyes from tears: for thy work shall be rewarded, saith the Lord; and they [your children] shall come again from the land of the enemy. And there is hope in thine end, saith the Lord, that thy children shall come again to their own border".
Isaiah 54:13: "And all thy children shall be taught of the Lord; and great shall be the peace of thy children".
Proverbs 11:21: "...The seed of the righteous shall be delivered".
Psalm 112:1-2: "...Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord, that delighteth greatly in his commandments. His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed."
Isaiah 49:25: "I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children."
Psalm 145:9: "The Lord is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all His works".
Isaiah 44:3: "...I will pour my Spirit upon they seed, and my blessings upon thine offspring"
Isaiah 59:21: "As for me, this is My covenant with them, saith the Lord: My spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, not our of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith the Lord, from henceforth and forever".
My friends, as you give thanks today, I ask you to pray and confess the above scriptures over your children's lives by name! Do this as a praise and Thanksgiving to the Lord Himself for what He has confessed for you even this day over you as well as them. You might do well to confess this promises every day! Happy Thanksgiving to you !!! Be thankful and give praise to the Lord for all He has done!
In the Love and Praise of Jesus for you and your children!
James Wesley
