"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future." 

Jeremiah 29:11

This verse first captivated my heart when I was a freshman in college. The Lord's divine plan worked well for me as girl of 18 or 19 just as it does today and it will tomorrow. Even when things look dark, the Lord's plan is for our good. That's something to never forget. His light always shines through the darkness.

Let them sacrifice thank offerings and tell of his works with songs of joy. 

Psalm 107:22

The Israelites actually made sacrifices on the alter to show their gratitude to the Lord. Because of the new covenant, we are not required to make this type of sacrifice, but the Bible still makes it plain that we are to offer God our sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving. What does it mean to you to offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving?
