If God wants to take down a wall in Jericho He tells His people to march around the wall seven times and blow trumpets. When He wants to defeat the Midianites and the Amalekites and others He tells Gideon to reduce his troops from twenty thousand to three hundred. When a giant needs to be dealt with because he threatens Israel, God sends in a small shepherd boy with a sling and a few stones. None of these plans that God gave would ever survive a meeting on strategy nor defense. If you suggested these in the war room you would be laughed out of the room. Simply put, they would not make sense to anyone – well anyone except for God.
We can thank the Lord for so much. We can feel or show great joy and delight for this life of abundance. Even in the times of our greatest poverty we still make it through and have not want we want but we have everything that we need. Let’s say amen! We are to Pray without ceasing. This is God’s intended way for man to receive blessings from God. God responds to prayer. He moves and takes action when we reach out to Him through prayer. To give thanks in all circumstances is being completely surrendered to the Lord in all circumstances.
