Bible Study - Thanksgiving

  Bible Study – Thanksgiving JESUS is coming again, and HIS second coming is ever closer. Are you ready? Thanksgiving is a good time to consider our relationship with JESUS. Our complete redemption through faith in JESUS is ever closer. Our focus scripture is Psalm 65:1-13. We have so much to be thankful for.
  • GOD made earth for humans to enjoy and to build the right relationship with HIM. GOD’S desire is for humans, male and female to marry, have a family and to worship HIM freely. HE made earth to reflect HIS handiwork and how awesome HE is. Humans live in the bodies HE created for us to enjoy earth and all that is in it. HE placed a GOD size vacuum in each person that encourages all of mankind to seek the right relationship with HIM and honor HIM freely in praise and worship. GOD did not desire to make a bunch of robots but a people with freewill to choose to be in right relationship with HIM through faith in JESUS. So, look all around. What do we see? We see GOD’S Glory and HIS Handiwork displayed for all to see. HIS handiwork speaks to all people, but some choose to ignore it. When we see GOD reflected in HIS handiwork, we rejoice and praise HIM.
Psalm 65 has three stanzas: A psalm of David.
  • David celebrated GOD
  • thanked HIM for HIS Grace.
  • God’s Care for the Earth
          Let’s read - Psalm 65:1-4:1 Praise is rightfully yours,[a] God, in Zion; vows to you will be fulfilled. In Hebrew the phrase, “Praise is rightfully yours”, means “to YOU silence is praise.” In Hebrew, the word for silence is similar to the word for “fitting and proper.” There are times when we need to not speak but just listen. Psalm 46:10
  • “Bestill, and know that I am God. I am exalted among the nations, I am exalted in the earth!” (Even nature waits for its full redemption. The subject of a second writing scripture is Romans 8 an addendum. (I plan to publish following this lesson.) 2 All humanity will come to you (GOD), the one who hears prayer. 3 Iniquities overwhelm me; only you can atone for our rebellions. 4 How happy is the one you choose and bring near to live in your courts! We will be satisfied with the goodness of your house, the holiness of your temple.[b]
GOD is worthy of our praise Psalm 65:5-8 - And for HIS Greatness.
  • 5 You answer us in righteousness, with awe-inspiring works, God of our salvation, the hope of all the ends of the earth and of the distant seas. 6 You establish the mountains by your power; you are robed with strength. 7 You silence the roar of the seas, the roar of their waves, and the tumult of the nations. 8 Those who live far away are awed by your signs; you make east and west shout for joy.
GOD’S handiwork speaks louder than what HE has created. The order of HIS handiwork reveals HIS power and grace. As I was seeking to know and experience GOD, the order of earth and the universe caught my attention. There had to be a Master designer, GOD. GOD preplanned all that was needed to support life upon earth. Awesome when we think about it! The majesty of GOD’S creation magnifies GOD and how awesome and loving HE is. Psalm 65:9-13 And HIS Goodness.
  • 9 You visit the earth and water it abundantly, enriching it greatly. God’s stream is filled with water, for you prepare the earth in this way, providing people with grain. 10 You soften it with showers and bless its growth, soaking its furrows and leveling its ridges. 11 You crown the year with your goodness; your carts overflow with plenty.[c] 12 The wilderness pastures overflow, and the hills are robed with joy. 13 The pastures are clothed with flocks and the valleys covered with grain. They shout in triumph; indeed, they sing.
GOD cares for all of our physical needs. HE made us with the freedom to choose. HE reveals Himself through HIS handiwork and awesome power. HIS desire is for us to choose HIM. When we approach HIM, HE comes closer to us. Scripture reveal’s GOD’S desire to reach out to all mankind and reveal Himself to all humans through HIS handiwork. Consider nature itself. Quickly, nature is not to be worshipped. Nature leads us to discover GOD WHO made nature. In turn, when we seek GOD, HIS total love for us humans are expressed in the second Adam, JESUS, the CHRIST, WHO paid, in full, the price GOD required for sin. The perfect sacrifice! GOD’S only SON, JESUS. Have you placed your faith in JESUS and what HE did just for you? If not, why not now! Ask JESUS to forgive you for your sins and for HIM to come into your life, believing that HE paid for your sins in full. That is when the Holy Spirit joins with your human spirit and the miracle of Spiritual conception takes place quicker than the twinkle of the eye and you are born-again in your spirit. You now belong to GOD and HIS eternal family, never to be unborn. GOD gives each person HIS Holy Spirit as a guarantee that you are GOD’S Son or Daughter eternally. You will dwell with GOD/JESUS and all the inhabitants of Heaven eternally. Rejoice and go tell someone what you have done. Welcome into GOD’S Family my brother or sister in JESUS! Study the book of John to learn more. Following this study, I will publish the brief study on Romans 8 regarding nature. Blessings!!!
