“But thanks be to God, who always leads us as captives in Christ’s triumphal procession and uses us to spread the aroma of the knowledge of him everywhere.” – 2 Corinthians 2:14.
CORRIE ten Boom was a Dutch Christian watchmaker and later a writer who worked with her father, her sister, and other family members to help many Jews escape from the Nazis during the Holocaust in World War II by hiding them in her home.
Corrie was caught and sent to the Ravensbrück concentration camp. Her most famous book, “The Hiding Place”, is a biography that recounts the story of her family’s efforts and how she found and shared hope in God while she was imprisoned at the concentration camp.
Corrie once said, “People thank me so much, and it used to worry me because I didn’t want to get a big head. So I began to collect those compliments like flowers. ‘Thank you,’ I’d say. ‘Thank you, thank you, thank you.’ Then at the end of the day, I’d kneel down and I’d say, ‘Here You are Jesus, they’re all Yours.'”
Let any praise you receive be to your Father in Heaven. Today in prayer, give thanks and praise to Jesus.
“The thankful heart opens our eyes to a multitude of blessings that continually surround us.” – James E. Faust
God’s Word: “Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!” – 2 Corinthians 9:15.
