The Bible is filled with Scriptures on giving thanks. The Lord Himself commands us to give thanks always. What a great uplift to have one Day in the Year devoted to Thanksgiving.
Give thanks to the Lord (1 Chronicles 16: 8, 34; Psalm 97: 12; 100: 4; 105: 1; Isaiah 12: 4).
Come before your God with thanksgiving (Psalm 95: 2).
Offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving (Psalm 50: 14; 107: 22).
Thanksgiving will please the Lord better than an ox (Psalm 69: 30 - 1).
He who offers a sacrifice of thanksgiving honors Me (Psalm 50: 23).
Why give thanks to the Lord?
"It is good to give thanks to the Lord (Psalm 92: 1)
"You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God." (2 Corinthians 9: 11).
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4: 6 - 7).
Now let us make a checklist of things to thank our generous God and Father in 2017:
1. Health
2. Family
3. Money
4. Job
5. Tools (car, smart phone, home)
6. Food
7. Future
I have been richly blessed in 2017. I hope you can say the same.
Happy and Joyful Thanksgiving Family.
