Romans 1:21 Because though they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God or thank Him, but rather became vain in their reasonings...and their heart was darkened. (25) Who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshipped andserved the creation rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

Refusing to glorify God, thank God, worship God, and serve God is a major aspect of the source of wickedness. However, if we glorify and thank Him, worship and serve Him, we will be protected from every evil. There are so many divorces and so much immorality throughout the world today because people will not glorify God and worship Him.... Never think that worshipping God is an insignificant matter and that glorifying Him is trivial. They mean a great deal to our human living. We need to thank God. We have many things for which to thank Him. Some people do not thank God until the hour of their death. Although that is very late, it is better than nothing.

We need to realize that glorifying God, thanking God, worshipping God, and serving God are extremely important. Suppose I have a bad temper, a shameful and ugly disposition. If I try to suppress it, I will never succeed. However, if I thank and praise God continually, I will find the best method of escape from my poor disposition. Whenever you are about to lose your temper, you should say, "I am going to serve God. I don't have time to lose my temper. God, I thank You that You are my God, that You are my Creator. Without You, I would have no being. I owe my very existence to You. I thank You, worship You, and serve You." If you do this, you will be freed from your disposition immediately. How much we need to worship God!

As we all sit down this week to our Thanksgiving dinner let us stop for a moment and give God thanks for all he has done in our lives this year. May each and every one have a happy, God filled and blessed holiday.....Brother Frank

Even now, Father God, I thank You for all things that you have done in my life this year. Save me from my vain reasonings by filling my daily living with glorifying, thanking, worshiping, and serving You. In doing this, You will be my constant protection and way of escape. Amen
