Title: It's Time to Take Inventory

Text:

Philippians 4:6 (NLT)
⁶ Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.

Observation:

There is nothing more revealing than taking the time to get alone with pen and paper and write down on paper all of the things that you have that you are thankful for. The more you write, the more you have to write.

This is the season of Thanksgiving; so I invite you take up the challenge of writing down on paper all of the things that you are thankful for. I believe that most of you will have a list longer that you imagine.

Let this hymn encourage you to get it done. There is no medicine for the soul like having an attitude of gratitude.

Count your blessings, name them one by one;
Count your blessings, see what God hath done;
Count your blessings, name them one by one,
And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.

James 1:16-17 (NLT)
¹⁶ So don't be misled, my dear brothers and sisters.
¹⁷ Whatever is good and perfect comes down to us from God our Father, who created all the lights in the heavens. He never changes or casts a shifting shadow.

Prayer:

Our Father in heaven, my dear Father, I am so grateful for all of my blessings; Lord, You have been so good to me. Father, I pray that I will be a channel of blessing to others. In the name of Jesus I pray, Amen.
