THANKSGIVING IS AN EVERYDAY EXERCISE OF FAITH

November 28 , 2022

O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. Psalms 107:1 

When we consider the title of this week's blog one may conclude that I may be a week late. According to the 2022 Calendar, Thanksgiving was last Thursday November 24th. And by now many of us are still recovering from giving to our palate plenty of opportunity to placate its passion from our plates .

Overall, our country's data tells us that Thanksgiving is our favorite holiday after Christmas. Again, we show the love by stacking our dishes sky high with terrific turkey, happy ham, cornbread from the clouds, glory greens, scrumptious stuffing, sensational sweet potatoes, pleasing pumpkin pie, and other holiday staples that smite us with happiness. 

 It is estimated that 46 million turkeys are eaten around the holiday according to the US Poultry and Egg Association. That’s a ton of turkey transitioning from the terrestrial. 

But now it’s time to transition to the most salient thought. Today is Monday November 28, 2022, and I also submit to you that today is THANKSGIVING!  For the Christian we are called to give thanks to God for everything and every day!

Psalms 136:1-3
1. O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever
2. give thanks unto the God of gods: for his mercy endureth for ever
3. give thanks to the Lord of lords: for his mercy endureth for ever.

1 Thessalonians 5:18
In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

When I contemplate the considerable compassion and goodness of the Lord our God I am guided and grafted to a gratitude that comes from the grace of God. Consequently, I am thankful for the following transcending truths about our Father God.

HIS Truth that sanctifies and guides.

HIS Holiness that dwells in us and without it one can never see God.

HIS Authority which is always righteous and will always exist.

HE Never lies and will never leave us.

HE Knows my name and my every thought, as well as what I need.

HIS Salvation which is solely through the Lord Jesus Christ.

 A soul that does not Give Thanks to God is a self-serving slave devoted to a self-deistic disposition.   

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Not a sermon, just some thoughts.

For the Glory of God,
