In the whirlwind of our busy lives, especially during the holiday season, it's easy for busy Christian women to forget the importance of pausing and thanking God for His blessings. Just like in Psalm 46:10, where God says, "Be still, and know that I am God," we must find moments to be still, even amid the chaos that abounds in our daily lives.
In Psalm 90:17, we're reminded, "May the favor of the Lord our God rest on us; establish the work of our hands for us—yes, establish the work of our hands!" Whether it's at our jobs, in our homes, or in our friendships, let's recognize that everything we do is an opportunity to glorify God, and with a heart of gratitude, our work takes on new meaning.
Consider Psalm 34:8, which encourages us to "Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in Him." Let's savor the goodness of God, finding refuge and peace in Him. As we juggle the demands of daily life, let's set an example for our families by placing our minds in a posture of worship and gratitude. Just like the popular Christian song says, "Bless the Lord, O my soul, worship His holy name."
In conclusion, let's anchor our hearts in Psalm 100:4, "Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise; give thanks to Him and praise His name." As we step into the holiday season, may our lives be a melody of gratitude, each note resonating with the acknowledgment of God's goodness. In the midst of this busy season, let's cultivate a spirit of thankfulness, teaching our families the true essence of the season – a time to be grateful for the love and blessings bestowed upon us.
