Daily Devotional for Thursday November 28, 2024

Thanksgiving Day 2024!!!

THANKSGIVING DAY 2024!

DAILY DEVOTIONAL THURSDAY NOVEMBER 28, 2024

(John 3:16, 14:6)

***PERSONAL MESSAGE FOR YOU FROM BILL KELLER: Despite the many challenges we face each day as a nation and individuals, we still have MUCH to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. Take time this day to give the Lord the thanks for His many blessings in our lives each day!

***DAILY PERSONAL PRAYER FOR YOU: Oh Lord, on this day we set aside each year to take time to be thankful, I give You all glory and honor for the blessings You have bestowed on my life. So often I take Your blessings for granted. Let me remember each day to take time to Thank You for Your grace and mercy in my life. May I show my gratitude in living my life for You and allowing Your love to shine through me to everyone I meet. In the name of Jesus I pray, AMEN!

***THE DAILY LIVEPRAYER TV NUGGET: Just over 3 weeks ago God showed His grace and mercy on this nation that quite honestly did not deserve that grace and mercy! Every follower of Christ should be humbled on this Thanksgiving that our Creator still has faith in us. Those who don’t know the Lord as their Savior can never understand what His followers understand. We understood on November 5th God could have cast us into the desert for many generations to come. Instead, He showed us mercy. Now it is incumbent on us, His followers, to boldly share the hope and love of Christ with the lost and hurting masses. God did not save this nation so we could continue to wallow in our sin and rebellion. NOW IS THE TIME EACH FOLLOWER OF CHRIST MUST TAKE OUR STAND FOR JESUS! That means we must find ways to serve Him, to take a courageous public stand for Him, to boldly speak out for Him! I pray today that you are encouraged and energized by what God did on November 5th. It was not just an election for President, it was the Creator of the universe having the last word as He does in all situations. GOD SAID HE IS NOT DONE WITH THIS NATION THAT WAS FOUNDED ON HIS TRUTH! May history record that we, His followers, took our stand for the faith when our moment was before us just like millions of His followers have done over the last 2,000 years. IT IS TIME TO STAND AND FIGHT THE RIGHTEOUS FIGHT FOR GOD’S KINGDOM! AMEN!!!

***NOVEMBER FINANCIAL UPDATE: AMEN! Thanks to a special year end gift from friend of Liveprayer, we have cleared up the balance of our September shortfall! AMEN! Over the final week of November, I am praying that we can clear up the $55,000 we required for our October ministry operations.

So far we have cleared up the first $15,000 of our October shortfall leaving the final $40,000! AMEN!

That would just leave the $55,000 for November’s budget and the $55,000 for December, or $110,000 during December to end this year with all of our ministry operations current. OUR GOD IS ABLE!!!

*******As we are now 34 days left until the end of 2024, please be praying about a special year-end gift to Livprayer! For many, a gift to God's work here will help on your taxes since you are either going to give the money to the government to waste, or to Liveprayer to get HIS Truth out to the masses and save souls!!!

The Bible teaches us to “give according to our ability to give.” For some that may be $10 or $20. For others it may be $50 or $100. Still others it may be $200, $500, $1,000, $10,000 or more. GOD WILL BLESS YOUR GIFT NO MATTER WHAT THE AMOUNT!!!

ALSO, DON'T FORGET A GIFT OF $1,800 COVERS ONE DAY OF MINISTRY AT LIVEPRAYER!!! I received this email recently, “Pastor Bill, My wife and I have just sold our last rental and God told us to tithe $1,800.00 to pay for a day of your ministry. Not looking for accolades, just that you know when you receive the check. Rest assured that we will still be making our regular weekly tithes."

On this day we celebrate as Thanksgiving, we have so much to be thankful for. I want to point out an aspect of this great verse in Paul's letter to the church at Thessalonica that is usually overlooked and almost never preached on. While we are so thankful today for all of God's blessings, this verse requires a great amount of maturity because it says "give thanks IN all circumstances!"

How quickly we run over those words without ever thinking about the true meaning. In this society where we are so focused on winning, so focused on the positive, so focused on things being in a state of perfection....God tries His best to help us be realistic about this sinful world we live in.

Aside from our own sinfulness, we live in a world that is infested with sin in every nook and cranny of our existence. Jesus, trying to prepare His disciples for the reality of living in this world without Him, trying to make them understand that despite the close intimate relationship they had, told them that in this world they would have problems and things would not always be perfect. This verse tell us that every day we should "give thanks IN all circumstances."

Spiritual maturity comes in when you understand that this verse is actually telling you to give thanks not only for those things you look at as good, but also IN the difficult things that happen to you as well.

That is hard for us to understand why we should be thankful IN those terrible things that happen to us along life's journey, but we have no way of knowing the mind of God, we have no way of understanding completely His plan or purpose, we just can't comprehend all of the things God does IN the situations we live through.

It is hard to imagine giving thanks IN things like marriage problems, divorce, the death of a loved one, financial difficulties, health problems, strife with friends, problems in your local fellowship, difficulties on the job, and any other bad things we experience in life. Hard to imagine.

But when you realize that God is still on the throne, that He is still in control, then you by faith, have to thank Him and trust Him even IN those bad situations. He is working on your behalf and will not let you down. As painful as the experience must be, we have to thank Him because He is often perfecting us for work in the future IN what we are facing today. We give thanks out of obedience, and out of faith that God knows what He is doing IN allowing those bad things we live through in our life to occur. Remember a man named Job?

I realize that today would be a great day to just say some warm and fuzzy things to make us feel good. It is a holiday, many are with family. The Christmas season is upon us. We have so much to be thankful for. But the job God gave me was not to give you something each day to just make you feel good, but to challenge you to a closer daily walk and to help you grow spiritually.

Many problems that I see each day occur because people have been given too much "feel good" talk, and not adequately prepared for the reality of this life in relationship to their life in Christ. When the storms come, they just aren't equipped to handle the onslaught.

The one thing that I will never do is hold back, compromise the Word of God, or tell you something just to make you feel good. I will tell you the truth, God's Truth right from the Bible, in an attempt to help you be prepared for living a victorious and productive life for Christ.

In these last days, He needs bold, mature, fearless men and women to do the work necessary here on earth. It is no accident that you are getting these Devotionals, and no accident that you read them. God is speaking to you through these daily writings to sharpen you, prepare you, encourage you to be all He has called you to be.

I love you and care about you so much. I am so grateful for you. Your love and prayers have been an inspiration to me personally and to our people here at Liveprayer.com. We are pressing forward each day. Thank you again for standing with me, for praying, for giving, for helping us add people to our Daily Devotional list and letting others know about Liveprayer.com and the Liveprayer TV program.

My thoughts and prayers are with you this day. I am truly thankful for you. For those traveling, may His mercies be with you as you go to and from your destinations. For those of you going through the fire today, remember... "give thanks IN all circumstances!"

May you and your family enjoy a most blessed Thanksgiving!!!
