Returning To Give Thanks To The Lord

I will give You thanks with all my heart - Psalm 138:1.

                Ten lepers who met Jesus lifted up their voices and asked mercy for them. And they lifted up their voices and said, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!” - Luke 17:13. Jesus told them to show themselves to the priests. The lepers obeyed God and as they went, they were cleansed. So when He saw them, He said to them, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And so it was that as they went, they were cleansed - Luke 17:14.

              One of them who saw that he was healed returned to give thanks to Jesus. And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, returned, and with a loud voice glorified God, and fell down on his face at His feet, giving Him thanks. And he was a Samaritan - Luke 17: 15.16. Though ten lepers were healed, only one returned to thank Jesus. So Jesus answered and said, “Were there not ten cleansed? But where are the nine? Were there not any found who returned to give glory to God except this foreigner?”  And He said to him, “Arise, go your way. Your faith has made you well” - Luke 17:17-19.

                 Let us take time to think about all the things God has done for us. Being filled with gratitude, return to God and thank Him for all He has done. Oh, give thanks to the Lord! Call upon His name; Make known His deeds among the peoples - Psalm 105:1. Let us not forget the goodness of God in our life. Bless the Lord, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits - Psalm 103:2. Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever - Psalm 136:1.

                                                               

PRAYER: Dear Lord, We thank You for all You have done for us. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
