Today’s Thought “Happy Thanksgiving Trump and Biden” G. Ward 1 John 5 3 For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments; and His commandments are not burdensome. 4 For whoever has been born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world: our faith. Praise is a soulful tone as one gathers under a premise of joyful experience(s) in follow-ship unto their Object of faith and when that event is owned partly by you and me (i.e. believing in personal empowerment un-sanctioned – Jn.15:5), our voices won’t reach Heaven. That’s how it is when our conversations embrace political victories and upsets (*Ro.13:1-2). It substantiates our faith in systems along with proposed dependence on Holy God (Ex.34:14). That doesn’t sound like how Jesus walked does it? We’ve had several occasions to witness Christ’s discourse at the dinner table and let’s also recall the politics in His time most certainly having disdain for His kind. Therefore, be sure to imitate the Savior's discourses; words that gather/unify. You don’t have long to prove your faith and remember every day hereafter is also thanksgiving.
