Thanksgiving is definitely one of my favorite holidays. It is a time to get together with family and friends and enjoy a good (and way too big) meal and be thankful for a good year.
But if you think about it...who are you thankful to? Many people will sit down on their dinner table and say a prayer and give "thanks" for stuff. It is sad to think that a holiday, which was set up to thank God for the provisions of the year, has been taken out of context and added to the one many American holidays in which God is taken out of. As I said, many will give thanks and not acknowledge God, even many "Christians" will do that.
Today, as you sit down and get ready to take down all that food, be thankful to the Lord. Thank Him for your salvation, for what He has done in your life. I know I have a lot to be thankful for. And don't forget to always thank Him. Don't be like the many people who thank once a year. Every day, should be a day of Thanksgiving. It is awesome to think that God allows you to breath every day another day.
I leave you with this passage that encouraged me a lot over night:
Oh come, let us sing to the LORD; let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation!Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving; let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise!For the LORD is a great God, and a great King above all gods.In his hand are the depths of the earth; the heights of the mountains are his also.The sea is his, for he made it, and his hands formed the dry land.Oh come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the LORD, our Maker!For he is our God, and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand.(Psalm 95:1-7 ESV)
