Joyful Jubilation

Today, millions of people all over the world are celebrating Thanksgiving.  It is a significant day for us who call Jesus Lord.  The eternal damnation and degradation gave way to hope and rejoicing to anyone who calls on the name of the Lord.  We have every reason to celebrate.  We celebrate Jesus, we celebrate life, we celebration each day because of the newness of life in Christ.  We once lived in shame, ruins, misery and hopelessness.  Our lives were dark, bleak and sorrowful.  But the Lord has illuminated our lives and give us meaning for our existence.   So we give thanks to the most high for He alone deserves all our praise and honour.  We thank Him for sustenance, salvation, grace, mercy, restoration, joy, hope and everything promise He  has birthed in our hearts.  We also thank the Lord for difficult times, challenges, setbacks, failures and humongous mountains because through them we experience the reality of knowing God who is bigger than any conceivable challenge that life throws at us.  We rise up in faith believing the Lord in things that we do not see with the naked eye but what is more important is to see all things through the spiritual eyes that He has endowed us with.  We rejoice in joyful jubilation because the God of hope lives in our hearts for all eternity.
