Giving thanks has always been a part of the response of people of faith. The psalmist declares: "I will gives to the Lord with my whole heart." Psalm 9:1 We notice it wasn't a half-hearted thanks, but it was a desire to give thanks with one's entire being. Seriously, have you ever been in this mode?
As we speak to God, giving thanks is also necessary. What would it be like to always be asking from God and never giving thanks? After all, everything we have comes from God. Sometimes, we need to look beyond the troubles, the problems, the trials, the tough challenges, and begin to focus on what we do have. We can also be thankful that we have a God who is always with us through thick and thin whatever we experience.
As we are approaching the Day of Thanksgiving, a national holiday, we are to be mindful of our many blessings. What will you offer up in thankfulness for our nation? For your church? For your individual life?
Being thankful will reap personal rewards for you. You will begin to see a brighter side to life.
