Thank you, Eternal God (Genesis 21:33 / Isaiah 40:28) for "Every mountain you have seen us through, no matter the circumstances, you never gave up on your creation, you provided redemption for us and for that we give you thanks because "You are Holy, and awesome is your name!" (1 Thessalonians 5:18 / Psalm 111:9 / Colossians 1:14) 

This is the last Sabbath for the month of January 2023. These days are flying by and soon we will look up and it will be another new year. With gratitude in our hearts we thank you Abba (Father - Mark 14:36 / Romans 8:15 / Galatians 4:6) for a brand new day in every season. In moments of distress or waiting for an answer from you sometimes we may "forget all the good, kind, and wonderful things you do, have done, and will do for us" (Psalm 103:2). "How can we ever repay you Lord for all of your mercy, love, faithfulness, and goodness towards us" (Psalm 116:12). "We can only give thanks unto you Lord for you are magnificent, you are Holy, and your love for us endures forever" (Psalm 118:1) 

We thank you Abba because when we are at our lowest, when we are struggling in our sins, when we are battling in our health, when we are counting every penny, when we are dealing with depression, when we are wrestling with forgiveness, when we are grieving all that has been lost, when we are ready to give up on your promises, oh, Abba thank you because your Holy sacrifice rescued us from the power of darkness and brought us into your kingdom (Colossians 1:13). Reminds me of this beautiful song, Holy, written and performed by Makeda Tene', "My God you are Holy, and if they only knew all the things that you've been through, they may see your smiling face, but we know it's by his grace, and if they only knew the times you fell, but he came through, and all the tears he wiped away too many for you to say, they too would cry Holy, oh Lord, you're Holy"

"Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come," (Revelation 4:8). "You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being." (Revelation 4:11)

Thank you, Abba because you are Holy. Thank you, Abba for this brand new day. Thank you, Abba for breathing your breath of life into our being. Thank you, Abba, for our healing. Thank you, Abba for our deliverance. Thank you, Abba for unmerited favor. Thank you, Abba for your patience. Thank you, Abba for reminding us that you will never forget us and every time you look at the palm of your hands you see our names that are written there (Isaiah 49:15-16).

Thank you, Holy Abba! I pray that no matter what is happening in your life that you continue to thank Abba for each brand new day in every season! Now, back to my season business unless Jesus bids me to come and post another message!

Many Blessings upon you and yours - sincerely, Danielle Smith
