1 Chronicles 29:20 (ESV/emphasis added/jaj)...."Then David said to all the assembly, 'Bless The Lord your God.' And all the assembly Blessed The Lord, The God of their fathers, and Bowed their heads And Paid Homage to The Lord and to the king."....
PJP2 THANKS TEXT 160626 -1 Chronicles 29:9 (ESV/emphasis added/jaj)...."Then the people Rejoiced Because they had Given Willingly, for with A Whole Heart they had Offered Freely To The Lord. David the king Also Rejoiced Greatly."....
I am Thankful for all the Examples of "Giving" The Holy Spirit Shares with us Through God's Word to us. In Acts 20:35, The Holy Spirit Reminds us via His Inspired Word to Paul..."help to weak, and Remember The WORDS of our Lord Jesus, how He Himself said, 'It Is More Blessed to Give that to receive."...If we do a WORD search of just the word "GIVE", per Gateway Bible's Search Engine, there's 1,474 uses of the word GIVE in the Bible. The Primary Example of Giver in His WORD.....God The Father....Genesis 1:15, when God The Father, in Day 4 of Creation (after 3 previous Days of His Giving us Light, Water, Land, Vegetation), He Gave us the Sun and Moon, His Gift of Two Great Lights. Interesting to note the WORD 'GIVE' (1,474 times) appears more than the WORD 'JESUS' (1058 times). Also interesting to note the WORD 'LOVE'....only 684 times in The WORD.....Yet we find an interesting intersection of these three Vital WORDS in John 3:16...."For God so Loved the world, That He Gave His Only Begotten Son (Jesus), That whosoever Believes in Him, Shall Not perish BUT Have Everlasting Life."
I am Thankful for God's Giving, His Love and His Son (our Lord Jesus).
My Prayer of Thanks for us today - O Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, Father God, Thank You for Your Example of Giving. Help us, Lord, to Follow In Your Steps. May we Give and Give Generously as You Guide us to Share Your Word, Will and Way with those in need. In Your Son's Holy Name we Pray....Amen and Amen....jaj
