Thanks & Praise

Pilot Knob Lutheran Church          Thanks & Praise          8/27/2025 

Attitude: from the moment we wake up our attitude can and will shape how our day will go; how we look at events and people is often determined by our attitude. However, attitude is something we can change, it should not control us. 

Fernando Ortega has a song titled, “Give Me Jesus.” He sings: “In the morning when I rise, give me Jesus.” That is a good way to begin the day, allowing God to influence our attitude. 

What attitude do we bring to church on Sunday? More importantly what attitude do we have on Saturday and Sunday morning before we walk out of the house and through the church doors? 

As Psalm 100:4 declares: Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. Our attitude and approach before God should begin with thanking God for what He does followed by praise for who He is; His greatness, authority, love and justice. Setting the tone when we enter the sanctuary focused on giving God thanks and praise regardless of our current struggles, depression or pain takes our eyes off ourselves and on to the God who wants to bless us with His love, grace and hope. 

Begin your devotional time, and Sunday worship with thanksgiving and praise and see what difference it makes as well as other times of the day.

Comfort

We don’t really know the extent of someone’s pain or hurt unless we’ve experienced it ourselves. We may say to someone grieving; ‘I know how you feel,’ unless you’ve been in a similar situation and even then not completely for each person’s experience is unique. 

A New Year’s Perspective

A new year and new beginnings. We all hope for a better year every January. It’s a 50/50 chance that a new year will be an improvement or live up to our expectations.
