Podcast 34.1 Transcript
Welcome to Thursday Thoughts at Resonant 7, where we reflect on the reality of God and resolve to let it resound in our lives, repeatedly. Let’s think about this.
Come ye thankful people come
Raise the song of harvest-home
Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him; bless his name! Psalm 100:4 ESV
To whom will you direct your thanks? I often find it sad when people realize they should be thankful but are simply not certain where to direct it. For us as the people of God that is easy. We direct our thanks to God Himself for all of His provision to us everyday, including today.
All is safely gathered in
Ere the winter storms begin
You shall observe the Feast of Weeks, the firstfruits of wheat harvest, and the Feast of Ingathering at the year’s end. Exodus 34:22 ESV
As long as there have been seasons there have been times of harvest marking some of them. Like the people of old we should be willing to observe special times of God’s provision for us. This verse marks the ingathering of the harvest, and we acknowledge the same in our lives.
God our Maker doth provide
For our wants to be supplied
And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19 ESV
This verse specifically states that God will supply all of our needs, but does not go so far as saying our wants. Truthfully, God often provides for more than just our needs as a demonstration of His grace to us. Give praise to Your Maker today for how he supplies.
Come to God’s own temple come
Raise the song of harvest-home
Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving; let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise! Psalm 95:2 ESV
When we think of His provision through times of harvest, and acknowledge His supply for every need, we are compelled to raise our song of praise. We come into His presence to give thanks to the One who provides the harvest and so much more.
Take a few moments to talk to Jesus about what has come to your mind, or listen to what He is saying to you, then I will read our text once more.
Come ye thankful people come
Raise the song of harvest-home
All is safely gathered in
Ere the winter storms begin
God our Maker doth provide
For our wants to be supplied
Come to God’s own temple come
Raise the song of harvest-home
Take the mindfulness of God’s presence cultivated in these last few minutes into the next ones and beyond. Until next time, Be Resonant.
