"Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever." 1 Chronicles 16:34
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As the time for Thanksgiving is coming near, I ask you to ponder something for me.
Should we only thank God on this one special day a year?
What about the other 364 days...?
Have you not heard of what God has done for you?
He has determined your steps, before you even plan them;
He has numbered every hair on your head;
He has given you a hope and a future;
He has sent his one and only Son to die for your sins;
He has shown you grace and forgiveness.
Should we not be thankful daily?
Every breath you take, shall you not be thankful?
Every step you take, shall you not be thankful?
Every person you meet, thing you see, scent you smell, shall you not be thankful?
Imagine it this way, God could have very well taken that last breath away from you this morning,
but instead,
You are living out God's plan for you on this earth.
Be thankful that he is still going to use you;
Use you in ways that a human mind cannot fathom.
While Thanksgiving is a time to be spent with family and friends,
remember to spend time with your Heavenly Father (everyday),
and instead of asking...
Give thanks for everything you already have.
