In Advance

Are you someone who thanks God in advance for what is about to happen? Last night, the youth pastor tells us how Jesus thanks God in advance of the miraculous feeding of the five thousand. 

I remember years ago listening to a woman pray. When she began to ask God for something, she always thanked Him in advance for what she was certain He would do. 

What faith! What an understanding that God is good and will do immeasurably more than we can ask or imagine! 

We thank God in advance today for what we know He will do.
