From Here Books at lennyo.org is built for you.  For the last several months I have posted blogs taken from the first book of the series, “We Can Get There From Here (Ouradnik 2013).”  I wrote that book to bring focus to simple things any one can learn to do.  For instance, choosing to become a thankful person will change your life.  There’s biblical evidence for this, even as there is scientific evidence in the psychological body of work.

The word for salvation in Hebrew is yesha (pronounced yay-shah; Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance #H3468).

Yesha means this: deliverance, salvation, rescue, safety, welfare.

Safety

Welfare

Prosperity

Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have this salvation actively working in your life every day? It can.

Once we begin to know the love of God in our lives, we can begin to take the next step.  I believe that the right next step is to choose to become thankful.

David understood the importance of being thankful.  He wrote what God has to say about giving thanks in difficult times in Psalm 50.
