What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?

Romans 8:31 (KJV)

If God be for us, who can be against us?

Is this not such a verse that if we studied these

inerrant words for an entire lifetime, we could not even

begin to plummet the triumphant, victorious length,

depth, height, and ceaseless sufficiency of our Savior’s love?

May our hearts be filled with only

thankfulness to thee, our loving

and always abiding Savior for all

your many blessings, gifts, and

benefits that can only be found in

Jesus Christ deity. The list is too

long but this humble poet will try

to enumerate all that you have done.

For innumerable are your many benefits and gifts.

Oh we could praise you forever for the gift

of Salvation, the forgiveness of sins remembered

no more placed at the bottom of the sea,

removed as far as the east is from the west.

Oh how can we list them all for they are

as the many as the diamond stars you have

so imperially placed in the Heaven for all

to see. Gracious Savior here is but a few:

justification, progressive sanctification,

loving sovereignty over all our lives,

reconciliation, union with Christ,

Forever sealed by the Holy Spirit,

adopted as Sons and daughters of

the King, Spirit Baptism, joint heirs

with Jesus Christ, King of Kings,

and Lord of Lords oh joyous legacy,

becoming our Savior’s temple and

indwelling place, new creature life,

royal titles, redeemed forever and

eternally, the gift of the Holy Word of

our Triune God, the gift of life to be lived

for the glory and majesty of our blessed,

and only Savior, the gift of a beauty-filled

Christ-created, majestic Creation, the hope

of the rapture, at any time, an audience with our

King through prayer, the ability to move mountains

by faith through prayer, the inspiration of scripture,

the authority of scripture, the inerrancy of scripture,

clarity of scripture, the sufficiency of scripture,

illumination of scripture, preservation of scripture,

the gift of the Trinigy, God is one in three persons,

the immutability of our God, the Holiness of our God,

the mercy of our God, the grace of our God, the lavish

love of our God, the faithfulness of our God,

the tenderness of our Shepherd,

the omnipotence of our Triune God,

the omnipresence of our Triune God,

the immanence of our Triune God,

the glorious beauty of the gospel

for every soul in the universe,

the priesthood of the believer,

the hope of the rapture,

the hope of new heavens and earth,

the fruiSpiritthe Sprirt, His tender

care over all His Saints, our provider,

our glory, the lifter up of our heads,

our fortress, our high tower, our shield,

and defender. Oh the list of benefits

would take a lifetime to declare.

So on this day of Thanksgiving,

may we delcare that every day

be a day of thanksgiving, praise,

hope, victory, and adoration to thee,

our precious Savior and Lord.

May our hearts be perpetually

filled with only thankfulness to

thee, our loving and always abiding

Savior for all your many blessings,

gifts, trials, and benefits that can

only be found when we become

a child of the King of Kings,

and Lord of Lords. Oh how blessed

are we, your undeserved joint

heirs, that you would bestow

all of these gifts, blessings, delights

and trials that strengthen us and

make us righteous, royal warriors for thee.

Blessed, are we. Blessed, are we.

Blessed, are we to belong to

Jesus Christ, King of Kings!

The happiest bestowal that anyone

could ever freely receive is

redemption’s glorious, precious,

blessed, ceaseless gift of Calvary

like a perpetual sunrise and sunset

as we are endlessly filled with

the light of Jesus Christ, our sun.
