<div class="SSN_title">"WHY BE THANKFUL"</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_intro">Intro: Well here it is almost Thanksgiving time again, crime and violence fill our streets, more mass murders, fighting continues in South Vietnam, and government is in a mess, taxes are going up and we're facing an energy crisis, so what's there to be thankful for?</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_rnum">I. DAVID CALLS UPON HIS SOUL TO BLESS THE LORD.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">A. All that was within him to bless His name.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. David's circumstances were not always ideal.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. Chased by Saul.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">b. His own son rebelled and drove him out.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. Our circumstances are not always ideal.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. In looking around we can always find something to gripe about.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">b. We can also find something to be thankful for.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">c. So some looking to gripe others looking for blessings.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_rnum">II. "FORGET NOT ALL HIS BENEFITS."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">A. How quickly we forget our blessings.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. Overcome by sorrow or circumstances we forget God rules.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">B. "Who forgiveth all thine iniquities."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. We often let the weight of our past drag us down. Some past action plagues our mind.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. Satan lays his trip on us.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level5">1. How could you?</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level5">2. That's unforgivable.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. "There is therefore now no condemnation."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">C. Who healeth all thy diseases.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. We let our afflictions get us down.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. We need to be praising Him for His healing power and promises of health and strength.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">D. "Who redeemeth thy life from destruction."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. He saved me.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. I was headed for destruction, He stopped me.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">E. "Who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. The other benefits are sort of negative.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. I sinned, He forgave.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">b. I was sick, He healed.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">c. I was lost, He saved.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. This is the positive goodness of God.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. We are more than just saved.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">b. He heaps His love and kindness on us till sometimes we cry mercy.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">F. "Who satisfies thy mouth with good things."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_rnum">III. "THE LORD IS MERCIFUL."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">A. "He has not dealt with us according to our sin..."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. Not justice, mercy.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. Justice is getting what you deserve. Mercy is not getting what you deserve. Grace is getting what you don't deserve.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">B. The extend of His mercy. "For as the heaven..."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. The astronomers keep expanding their concept of the size of the universe. Sometimes I think they think they are putting God farther away, but they are just extending His mercy.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">C. The results of mercy "as far as the east..."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. Why not north and south?</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">D. The reason for His mercy, "for He knows our frame that we are but dust."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">E. The limits of His mercy, "from everlasting to everlasting."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">F. The recipients of His mercy.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. Those that fear or reverence Him.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. Those that keep His covenants and remember His commandments to do them. And this is His commandment, that we believe on the name of His Son, Jesus Christ.</div>
