Three T's

TREASURE GOD  
God by choice started it all, man by sin stained it all, God through Christ offers redemption to all. Man redeemed knows the treasure God is. If God is growing lack-luster in your life or you have not experienced redemption. Go back to the good news and apply: Christ came! Christ died! Christ rose again! Christ is returning!  

Psalm 37: 4 -4  Delight yourself also in the Lord,  And He shall give you the desires of your heart.NKJV

TRUST GOD
Though the light may grow dim, though the day appear grim. Though heaven feels shut, though evil looms large. Though His hand seems absent, though presence unfelt, TRUST Him by faith! From Abraham, Joseph, Job, John the Baptist and Paul we see those who were tried by the silence of God, even to the point of death, yet faith remained and their hope is now realized. Ours will be too...Trust God.

Hebrews 12:1  Therefore, we also having so great a cloud of witnesses set around us, every weight having put off, and the closely besetting sin, through endurance may we run the contest that is set before us,  2  looking to the author and perfecter of faith--Jesus, who, over-against the joy set before him--did endure a cross, shame having despised, on the right hand also of the throne of God did sit down;  3  for consider again him who endured such gainsaying from the sinners to himself, that ye may not be wearied in your souls--being faint. Young's literal.

THANK GOD
Ingratitude reveals so much selfishness and self focus. Ouch! Remember, God did not have to sustain the world or even save men, but he did. Though He allow, at time and for season, your mistreatment by the world, your misalignment through the malignancy of sin, the misunderstanding of others and the stomp of the evil one. Better is here! Christ in ME the hope of glory. He redeemed ME...and YOU. that alone is enough to thank Him. One day we will reside where sin is no more!

1 Thessalonians 5:18  in everything give  thanks ; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.  19  Do not quench the Spirit.  20  Do not despise prophecies.  21  Test all things; hold fast what is good.  22  Abstain from every form of evil. NKJV

1 Corinthians 15: 57  But  thanks  [be] to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.  58  Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord. NKJV
