I enter November with thanksgiving on my mind and lips. I look around and see such beauty, so much joy in God’s creation. At this time of year, I often fall in love with my Savior and LORD all over again.
As I pray this November, God has led me to pray the Scriptures. I was unsure where to start (although the Psalms always seem a wonderful place), but I sense God is asking me to focus on Him and all He is to us. So over the next couple weeks leading up to the Thanksgiving holiday, I am going to PRAY His attributes and character found in the Scriptures and what that all means for me (and for you).
What other place than to begin where there is no beginning. When Moses stood at the burning bush in Exodus 3, he asked God who He was. God’s answer was simple, “I AM WHO I AM … This is my eternal name, my name to remember for all generations.” [3:14a, 15b NLT]
Later, Paul would write about Christ Jesus our LORD, “And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together.” [Colossians 1:17]
God is Infinite. (Always has been, always will be.) So impossible for us to understand with our time-limited thinking. But oh so wonderful to be our foundation of thanksgiving and praise.
My focus in prayer today will be what God’s infinity means for our lives, what His sustaining all things means for our well-being in Him. Knowing the “I AM WHO I AM” removes all my fear!
