Psalm 50:10-15
10. All the beasts of the forest and the livestock of the mountains are mine;
11. All the birds of the mountain are mine, and the beasts of the field are mine.
12. Even if I were hungry, I would not tell you, for the world and its fulness are mine.
13. Shall I eat the flesh of bulls and drink the blood of goats?
14. Offer sacrifices to God with thanksgiving, and pay your vows to the Most High.

Adults were getting upset because their high school son was hanging out with bad friends.
One day, while I was worried when my son didn't come home past midnight, I got a call from my son the next morning.
My mother urgently asked, "No, what's going on? You don't come in late, you don't answer the phone."
Then the son said. "Mother, don't worry, I'm in a safe place now."
"Where the hell are you now?"
The son said calmly. "It's a police station."
Let's take the Bible and say the decision of faith
I believe in the Bible, live according to the Bible, and live a life that is enjoyed according to the Bible.
I confess in Jesus name
There is a famous video called If the Earth were a Village of 100 People.
Currently, there are about 6.3 billion people on Earth.
However, if we reduce it to a village of 100 people, we are talking about it.
52 out of 100 are women and 48 are men.
20 out of 100 people on Earth are malnourished, and 1 is on the verge of starvation. But 15 are obese.
43 out of 100 people live without basic sanitation facilities.
18 out of 100 people are always short of water.
75 out of 100 have food stocked up to eat and shelter from rain and dew, but the other 25 don't.
A man with savings in the bank, money in his wallet, and change floating around somewhere in the house is one of the eight wealthiest people in town.
Owning a car is in 7 out of 100 people.
One of the villagers has a college education and two have computers. But 14 people can't even read.
With this in mind, anyone who lives in a nice house, has enough food, and can read is a very chosen person.
If you have a computer there, you're an elite.
If you can move and speak according to your convictions and conscience without fear of harassment, arrest, torture, or death, you are more blessed than the 48 who are not.
If you are not afraid of being injured or killed by an airstrike, bombardment, or landmine, and you are not afraid of being kidnapped by armed groups, you are more blessed than the 20 who are not.
In a year, 1 person dies in a village. However, with two new babies born, the number of villagers will increase to 101 next year.
Even if we look at the reality of the earth we live in objectively, we should be very, very grateful to God for the life we enjoy in Korea.

Sometimes I read the Bible and think about the life Jesus enjoyed.
Because the person I am today is not eating well, wearing well, and living well.
I feel ashamed that the greed I have is truly extravagant.
I'm really sorry. Sometimes I pray to God.
Even if you live very well in the world, you cannot live with an attitude of being truly grateful.
Even though they eat much better than Jesus, dress well and live in a nice house, they are dissatisfied and even feel uneasy because they say they are poor.
Although we are grateful sometimes, it is only then that most of us are grateful and lose our gratitude.
If God gives us so much, why are we not thankful and more dissatisfied?
Our heart should be centered on the Lord, because the greed of the world has become the center within us. Sin has come in.
In the battle
Give thanks in everything, for this is God's will for you.
He strongly tells us to live our grateful lives.
In Luke 17,
By the grace of God, people can see the miracle that ten lepers produced.
you will experience But to the one who gives thanks, Jesus
He says that salvation comes to the one who gives thanks.
Dear saints,
Let's be grateful for our daily life.
To those who are grateful, the Lord gives us the things to be thankful for
He gives us miracles.

Today's Bible says that God is not poor.
People donated many things to God, and they went to large chapels and
It is important to give these things, but God is not.
Because everything in the world belongs to God, God will not tell us even if we are hungry because we have nothing to eat.
The offering we give to God itself does not go up to heaven.
The confession of thanks contained in the offering and devoted faith goes up to God.
Some people think that I am not qualified to be a worshiper because I have nothing to give. You are absolutely wrong.
God does not evaluate people's worship with material things. Are you truly grateful?
In the Old Testament, among the sacrifices to be offered to God, all contain the content of thanksgiving. The question is whether there is any genuine gratitude among them, even if they give very little material.
Even if you donate a lot of material or your body and a lot of time, is there any real gratitude?
The most important element of worship is thanksgiving.
3.
Today's Bible says that God will give privileges to those who live with thanksgiving. On a difficult day, call on God and I will rescue you. It's about giving glory to God.
Brothers and sisters, there are too many things in our lives that we lose to complaining and complaining. Let's try to be thankful. What a happy effort, it is an effort to find blessings. If you do, you will know.
These days, I am challenging myself with numerous survival competitions on TV.
I will challenge you to obey God's word to give thanks.
I hope that Lee will challenge me to live a life that I am more grateful for than others.
