I am Thankful that God Promises He IS NOT leaving us, BUT Rather, HE IS Coming Back to Take us With HIM and for us to Be With HIM in Eternity.  It is interesting to note that there are 40 versions of His WORD connected to The Bible gateway.com website.  In today's PJP2 THANKS TEXT (Psalm 49:15) - I felt The Holy Spirit suggesting to share five of these 40 versions reflections of this Passage Of the WORD Select (POWS).  As you can see we've used the ESV; NIV; TLB; CEV; MSG versions.  I am Thankful for the Encouragement we get from each version, providing a slightly different view, BUT the Same Core TRUTH of God's Love and HIS Promise to Come Back to us.....I am Thankful that HE Ransoms, Redeems, Receives, Reaches Down/Snatches and Grabs us all because He Loves us!

Thus my Prayer of Thanks for us today would be a Paraphrase of Prayer and Praise, employing His Holy Spirit's WORD to the Psalmist as Recorded in Psalm 46:1-3, 11...O Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, Father God, You Are our Refuge And Strength.  Lord Jesus, we Praise You, for You Are A Very Present Help in all our trouble.  Holy Spirit, Therefore we Will Not fear, For You Are Ever With us.  O Father God, even though the earth gives way all around us, we Will Not fear, Because You Are With us.  Lord Jesus, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea, we Will Not fear, Because You Are With us.  O Holy Spirit, though the earth's waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling, Because You Are Within us, we Will Not fear.  O Lord of Hosts Ever Remind us That You Are With us.  Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, Father God You Are our Fortress.  We Lift Up our Prayers of Thanks and Praise in Your Holy Name.....Amen and Amen....jaj
