Thanksgiving

"1 Give thanks to Adonai, for He is good, for His grace continues forever. 2 Give thanks to the God of gods, for his grace continues forever. 3 Give thanks to the Lord of lords, for his grace continues forever." (Psalm 136:1-3, CJB)

Today is Thanksgiving, a day to remember everything we have to be thankful for. That includes family, friends, shelter, food, a stable job, etc. As Christians, we have even more to be thankful for. We are thankful for God's faithfulness (Deuteronomy 31:6), for His sacrificial love (John 3:16), for His forgiveness (1 John 1:9), for His mercy (Titus 3:5), for His grace (Ephesians 2:8-9), for His salvation (Acts 4:12), and for the home he is creating for us in heaven (John 14:1-3). God wants us to always give thanks.

"16 Always be joyful. 17 Pray regularly. 18 In everything give thanks, for this is what God wants from you who are united with the Messiah Yeshua." (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, CJB)

God wants to give thanks in every situation, even in difficult times. So, today let's "give thanks to Adonai, for He is good, for His Grace endures forever." Happy Thanksgiving!
