《Walking With Jesus A Daily Devotional》Day Twenty-Five

Day Twenty-Five.
Verse: "Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe." Hebrews 12:28
Yesterday my Mom's brain surgery went really well and she is doing good! Praise God!
I know sometimes, when we are struggling, it's easy to blame God rather than praise God. I know for me, I struggle with being thankful due to being in so much pain from fibromyalgia and arthritis. But I also know I have so many blessings to praise God for.
Here are some things I am thankful for today:
1. My Mom's brain surgery was a success.
2. Mom is doing good after her surgery.
3. I have a very supportive family who loves me and helps me.
4. I got to see my Mom in the hospital today.
5. My cat Little cuddled with me last night!
6. I found some gloves on Amazon that really help my arthritis pain in my hands.
7. My neck and back heating pad really helps my back pain.
8. My cat Spike cuddled with me last night.
9. I am seeing a new doctor soon to help with my physical pain. I really hope he can help me.
10. I have a very close relationship with God!
11. Jesus died for me and rose again! (John 3:16)
12. Jesus heard my prayers for my Mom!
13. I have so many amazing readers and followers who love my books (like you who are reading ;) I am thankful for you)
14. My book: "Jesus Saves Daily Devotions" is being published and will be out on Amazon soon!
15. Even through my physical pain I have stayed in college and I am still doing college.
16. I have all A's in my college classes.

17. In the fall, I will be officially be a sophomore in college!
18. Even though I am still struggling with physical pain, I am alive today and sharing the word of God!
If you struggle with being thankful, start writing down a list everyday of things you are thankful. When I started my list, I thought I wouldn't have many thing to be thankful for but it turns out I have 18 things today to be thankful for. You don't have to have 18 things to be thankful for, if you only have Jesus to be thankful for, He is enough!
We can always be thankful for:
God will love you forever. (Psalm 136:1)
God will never leave you. (Hebrews 13:5)
God will comfort you. (Isaiah 49:13)
God will help you and always be there for you. (Psalm 121:1-2)
God is always faithful. (Psalm 33:4)
God keeps His promises. (Deuteronomy 7:9)
Jesus died on the cross for YOU! Jesus rose again and defeated death! Now we can have a personal relationship with God and go to Heaven! (John 3:16)
As my Dad always says: "you find what you are looking for." So instead of focusing on our problems, we should be focusing on our blessings and on God. We find what we are looking for: if we spend time looking for things to be thankful for, we will find them!
I know it's much easier said than done. But if we will start making lists everyday of things we are thankful for, start reading the Bible everyday, and start praying everyday. It will make a world of difference. I will do it with you!
So let's start praising God Today!
Prayer:
Dear God,
I know right now I am struggling to be thankful. Help me as I start to make lists of things I am thankful for, spend time in Your Word, and spend time talking to you that I become thankful and grateful. Even when I am struggling, I know I always have you to count on and be thankful for.

The System tries to incorporate as many of the survivors as it can. Worlds that are magic driven to worlds that are technological marvels with all the worlds inbetween. A thousand of the survivors are sent to Raylia. A planet that is on the outskirts of the system, as The System was trying to send as many survivors to as many planets as possible. Thoren flies headlong into action...literally. What equates to skipping the tutorial, Thoren finds himself stuck in a level 50 instanced dungeon. no food no water no weapon only the company of an imp. "I'm Screwed" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This story uses the system derived by Puddles4263 in Randidly Ghosthound. I've incorporates the Path's system into the leveling of this story. Some of the beginning paths will be similar or the same as I thought that the starting paths were very logical on how a system should start. The stories will be completely different as the characters and story arcs will be completely different. Again, thank you Puddles for allowing me to use your system, really appreciate it! I also wanted to thank ProFound Magician. Has a lot of insight into a story development and as his system is based on Ghosthound, I saw a some beginning stage skills that should be thought of in a character just starting out. If you haven't yet read Ghosthound or Genesis System you're in for a real treat when you do! Thank you both I hope my use is seen as an homage in the beginning. Hopefully my story can live up to the system.

With the cliché line, “Please save this world from the demon lord!” He and his classmates were given skills to strengthen themselves. However, Kouta, who was labeled “King of the School”, was given no skills. He was shunned by the royals but not by his classmates. His classmates then helped him train during their stay at the castle. During an expedition to subjugate a monster, Kouta was killed… not. Instead, he was given a skill he never thought he would have. This is the adventure of a closet online gamer in another world.

Magikind
Disclaimer: This is a low-fantasy, soft-sci-fi genre. In fact, it's a variety of genres, so don't be too put off by the tags Through several centuries of selective breeding, these beings, known as mages, have become part of the very foundations of society. However, some humans refused to change or adapt along with them. They believed in purity and refused to interbreed with magikind. Known as the manush, they were a rarity among society. Now, in the fifth millennia, the manush are thought to be extinct. With magikind ruling the world, a three-way war grips society between Eurasia, Afro-Australian Alliance and The Americas. In these uncertain times, a manush called Gin enters the Eurasian army. From there, our journey unfolds. A story of how mankind could realistically evolve while still pushing boundaries. PS. I am also posting here: Creative Novels so don't worry, I'm not being stolen from. PSS. Join the discord server for updates on the novel: Link to Server Note: This is a rewrite of this: Magikind [Original] and a good number of people have read what I've done so far beforehand (patreon, beta readers etc, not to mentions old fans of the original etc. I've written 35 chapters so far for this rewrite), so don't be alarmed by any early reviews or ratings.
