Thankful

Happy Thanksgiving!

What are you thankful for?

I’m thankful that God’s is faithful to me. God is gracious to all those who repent and to those He has chosen (past, present, and future). God’s Sovereignty is so beautiful. “God’s dominion is total: He Wills as He chooses and carries out all that He wills, and none can stay His Hand or thwart His plans” (Packer, 1993).
I’m also thankful that my petition to become official on the Davenport University campus is pending acceptance. God is great and whatever happens He will always be great. It reminds me of that movie “Facing the Giants.” After the coach repented and turned his life around, he made a speech to the football team. I love what he said, “If we when we praise Him. If we lose…we praise Him.” God’s worthiness of continuous praise is eternal. God’s Hand is always at work. Even when it does not seem like it. I will still preach the Gospel if I become official on the campus. I will still preach the Gospel if I don’t become official. My life is for Christ. It’s a daily molding process, but I surrender all to Christ. Please keep CCN Davenport in prayer. I want to rock that campus for Jesus Christ. I want to rock other campuses for Jesus Christ. Long live the eternal King Jesus Christ. I’ll leave you with scripture that I live by daily. Remember…
“We are the laborers and God is Sovereign.”

Romans 8:28-39
28And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.

29For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren;

30and these whom He predestined, He also called; and these whom He called, He also justified; and these whom He justified, He also glorified.

31What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us?

32He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things?

33Who will bring a charge against God's elect? God is the one who justifies;

34who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is He who died, yes, rather who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us.

35Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

36Just as it is written, "FOR YOUR SAKE WE ARE BEING PUT TO DEATH ALL DAY LONG; WE WERE CONSIDERED AS SHEEP TO BE SLAUGHTERED."

37But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us.

38For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,

39nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
