Day 2: Reflect on Psalm 50:23<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On a sheet of paper or in a journal, write as much of Luke Psalm 50:23 as you can remember.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Write your answers to the following on you paper or in your journal:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read Psalm 50:23<\/a>. Then read it again along with the previous verse<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read and reflect on the entire 50th Psalm<\/a>. What difference do you see between true gratitude and simply going through the motions of giving thanks?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Offer prayers of confession and thanksgiving<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Preparation for prayer:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Write your answers on your paper or journal to the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In what ways do forget God? Are there ways that giving thanks becomes simply a ritual?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Think of ways that God can use your thank offering and write them down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Offer up prayers of confession and thanksgiving<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Pray to God confessing the challenges in the first question, and thanking him for the ways he can put your thank offering to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Father, I confess today that I too often forget you. I go through the motions of saying \u201cthankyou\u201d while not fully considering what you\u2019ve done for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I think of the extra gifts that were offered at church yesterday, I thank you for how you will use them for your glory. Thank you for the different ministry partners, for their dedication to serving people and to spreading the Gospel. Thank you for their ministries and for their faithfulness in serving you. More than anything, I thank you for the opportunity to honor you with the things that came from you and belong to you in the first place. I pray this through Jesus, Amen.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
