Let Us Give Thanks!
It’s Thanksgiving again. We celebrate every year. Another day off from work for most, some two days. Most gather with family and/or friends. But, what is the thanks part? What are we thankful for? And… To whom do we give thanks? The Bible tells us “”Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus”. -- I Thessalonians 5:18. Note that the writer states IN all things, not FOR all things. Not all things are good are they? We should be thankful ‘in all things’; thankful that whatever the circumstance we are not alone. God is always there. Family and friends are usually there also, but God is always there to help us in ways that family and friends cannot.
Philippians 4:6 relays “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” This message from Philippians adds prayer to thanksgiving. We pray to God, giving thanks (and petitioning).
As we celebrate this Thanksgiving, let us not forget to give thanks for the upcoming celebration of Christmas, giving thanks to God for the most wonderful gift of Jesus Christ.
