'So we thy people and sheep of thy pasture will give thee thanks forever: we will shew forth thy praise to all generations'
(Psalm79:13).
God not only created us as his Children, but died for us too, and provide, care and sustain us. But those who are considered His people, have chosen His covenant grace and are the sheep of his pasture. He leads them by the still waters and provide good pasture for them. As believers, and God's people, we should give Him thanks forever; as long as we live on this earth and in the time of eternity when Jesus comes, to praise him generation after generation. We ought to recognise the Lord as our Shepherd, and see ourselves as His sheep and become totally dependent upon Him. We should declare our thanks and praises forever; for who He is and what he has done for us. By faith we should anticipate a better and brighter future with God, where we shall continue to praise and worship Him. Regardless of the turmoil and violence going on around us, we by God's grace are able to give Him thanks and praise, because a new heaven and earth awaits us. We will then spend eternity with God. Remember, all that we may face in this life is not in the least worthy to compare to the glory that will be revealed in the last days. Let us always have a reason to rejoice, knowing we are blessed and highly favoured in many ways. We have victory in Jesus who died for us, so let us praise the name of Jesus everyday, only He alone is worthy.
Have a wonderful day

Our Father in heaven will take care of these things we need. We are told by Jesus, 'To seek first the kingdom of God.' What does that mean? It means we should lean on, and trust in the grace of Jesus Christ. We should repent of our sins and have a desire to turn away from it. We should seek to put God first in our praise to Him, in our worship of Him, to put our total trust in Him and to rely on Him rather than ourselves or others. We need to seek Him first in our reassurance and acknowledging who He is and what He can do. We also need to seek God's righteousness by loving our neighbors and feeding the poor and destitute, seek justice for the vulnerable. We should put God's plan and
