Thanksgiving

Thanking God for What He Has Done.

We do not need one day a year to thank God, just as we should pray unceasingly, we also thank God at all times for all good things that come into our life.

Memorize Psalm 100:4.

"Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: Be thankful unto him, and bless his name."

What To Thank God for -

Make a list of things your family is thankful for and keep adding to your list all year long. Be sure to include the following:

• His Love and Free Offer of Salvation -
"For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 6:23)

• His Provision -
"And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:19)

• All Good Things -
"Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father." (James 1:17)

You can thank God for anything and everything good, including safety during the storm, a found parking space, safety during a near accident that you avoided, good news from a friend, or the beauty of the day.

• Unasked-for Blessings -
"For He gives to His beloved even in his sleep." (Psalms 127:2) We are His Beloved...

We can thank the Lord for those things we have received without specifically asking for them. "...More than we can ask or imagine..."


So Be Continuously Thankful...
