What scripture verse or verses are you thankful for? Maybe it is one that has gotten you through a hard season. Maybe it is one that reminds you of a loved one or a place. Maybe it’s one that was read to you by a parent or taught at VBS. I am thankful for Isaiah‬ ‭55:8-9‬ ‭NIV‬‬; “”For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.”

I am thankful for these verses because they keep me surprised by God. Just when I think I’ve seen or experienced God’s best laid plans, He’s got something better down the road. Take a look at this picture that was taken at Brookgreen Gardens when I recently ran a 5k. Can you just imagine the goodness and God’s beauty that is at the end of that road?

I’ve always loved a song by Garth Brooks, “Unanswered Prayers” because so many times what I thought I wanted, God had something or someone better. Take a moment today to thank God for those unanswered prayers and I encourage you to listen to this country song, https://youtu.be/gSL_sjya9rg

We would love to hear from you! Tell us what scripture you are Thankful for!
