A shift occurs when we choose to be thankful. Does everything in our lives have to be perfect for us to be thankful? The Bible teaches that being thankful is a form of worship and praise to our Creator. Thankfulness for what Jesus accomplished through his life, death, and resurrection will renew our spirits and fill us with joy. Choose to be thankful, even when you don’t feel like it. A mighty and supernatural change takes place within you. As we shift our speech from whining, grumbling, and complaining to gratitude, we can worship in spirit and truth and enter into the throne room of grace. Our view of what we complain about changes, our countenance is uplifted, and our trust is strengthened because He is faithful to finish the work he has begun in us and that is something to be thankful for.

Do not grow weary in well doing. As we enter this New Year and leave behind the memories and the moments of 2025, depend on and trust in the Bread of Life that sustains us, the Word of God that is Jesus our Lord and Savior. Don’t allow the distraction of this life to make you weary in your faithful work for the Lord. He is interceding daily for us preparing our heavenly dwelling. So, just as the servant and the virgins we need to keep our lamps full and a watchful eye for the coming of our Lord. He is coming back for His bride, the Church, the body of Christ, Use!! And, we want Him to find us awake, watching and ready.

As we say goodbye to 2025 and look ahead to a New Year, full of potential, stay alert and continue doing what you have been called to do with joy and thankfulness. Keep your lamp full of oil, renew you mind with His Word. Be a faithful doer and share Jesus with everyone you meet. Be ready, awake and alert, not weary, for that time is closer than you think.

Jesus is THE BREAD OF LIFE!! Perhaps it’s no coincidence that this episode would coincide with the birth of our beloved Savior, the age of when he began His ministry to the world and gave His life for us all to have redemption. Now that we are in Him and He is in us we are one body, one loaf (1 Cor. 10:17) and He commissioned us to be sharing this Bread of Life with others. We do this through sharing His love, His life, healing and deliverance through Him and through our prayers for others always speaking the truth. We are children of God, Abraham’s seed and healing and deliverance is ours. Authority has been given to every one of His children and we have the power to release the lies that bind us from having the fullness of the freedom and deliverance that is our birth right. CLAIM IT AND SHARE IT!!
