TOPIC: Be Thankful [Open Heaven for Teens 31 October 2023]

MEMORISE: In everything, give thanks. 1 Thessalonians 5:18a

BIBLE TEXT: James 1:13-14

13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:

14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.

MESSAGE:

Many Christians trade blames when things don’t go right. They query God for permitting evil circumstances around them. Some outrightly renounce their faith and backslide in the process, but our Bible text warns:

“Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.”

Like I always say to my children, God is not unaware of any circumstance you may be in, whether pleasant or unpleasant, however, He wants you to maintain the right disposition throughout your trials. Job’s ordeal could have made him curse God, but He chose to praise God instead. Even when his friends and wife advised him to curse God and die, he chose to trust Him.

Ingratitude is an act of robbery against God. He expects that you will appreciate Him for the numerous blessings He has bestowed on you. It is dangerous not to be thankful because your joy cannot be full if you are not thankful. Don’t become ungrateful when faced with a challenge. Rather, praise God in advance for your victory.

PRAYER POINT:

Father, I thank You for the salvation of my soul through Christ. Please help me to remain grateful to You in every situation.

HYMN 11 – O Lord My God! When Am In Awesome Wonder,

  1. O lord my God!
    When am in awesome wonder,
    consider all
    The worlds thy hands hath made
    I see the stars,
    I heard the rolling thunder
    Thy pow’r thro’ out
    The universe displayed
  2. And when I think
    That God, His Son not sparing
    Sent Him to die
    I scare can take it in;
    That on the cross,
    My burden gladly bearing,
    He bled and died
    To take away my sin.
  3. Then through the woods
    And forest glads I wander,
    And hear the birds
    Sing sweetly in the tress;
    When I look down
    From lofty mountain grandeur
    And hear the brook
    And feel the gentle breeze;
  4. When Christ shall come
    With shout of acclamation
    And take me home,
    What joy shall fill my heart!
    Then I shall bow
    In humble adoration
    And there proclaim,
    My God how great Thou art!

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Luke 23-24
