~Thursday Thanksgiving Thanks: Redemption Song~

"The enemy pursues me, he crushes me to the ground, he makes me dwell in darkness like those long dead....(BUT) the morning bring(s) me word of Your UNFAILING LOVE, for I have put my trust in you...to you I lift up my soul!"

Psalms 143:3,8

Today I am BURSTING with Thanksgiving! For this very special day set aside to give thanks, my heart is full of joy to the LORD! I am thankful because PRAISE the LORD, He does not leave His children as they are! Chained and burdened by sin and regret for past actions. Conniving and striving for self promotion and adoration. Lost and confused in a sea of choices. Broken, disappointed, prostituted by/for those people or things or achievements who were supposed to be love, security and salvation. Pursued, crushed to the ground, dwelling in darkness like those long dead....

BUT, the morning brings word of the LORD's unfailing love!!!!

"When I awake I am still with you Lord"~Ps. 139:18

"You hem me in, O LORD,-behind and before you have laid your hand on me."~Ps. 139:5

"I have swept away your offenses like a cloud, your sins like the morning mist. Return to me for I HAVE REDEEMED YOU!"~Is. 44:22

"I, the LORD, will remove the names of the other gods from her lips..." Hos. 2:17

"...the LORD has sent me to bind up the broken hearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners...to bestow a crown of beauty for ashes, oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair."~ Is. 61:3

"...Christ gave himself up for her (His People) to make her holy, cleansing her by washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as RADIANT, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, BUT HOLY and BLAMELESS." ~ Eph. 5:26,27

"We have escaped like a bird out of the fowler's snare; the snare has been broken, and we have escaped. Our help is in the name of the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth!"~Ps. 124:7,8

THANK YOU JESUS!
