Thanksgiving

For many people, Thanksgiving is a holiday, a single day set aside to give thanks and enjoy a big meal with friends and family. For the Christian, Thanksgiving is a way of life, an outward expression of our internal hope, belief, and faith. It is a daily act of giving praise and thanks to God our Father for all that He has given us.

Scripture says:

1 Thessalonians 5:18 “Be joyful always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Jesus Christ.”

Philippians 4:6 “ Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with Thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.”

• It is God's will that we give thanks!

• We can give thanks in all circumstances because Thanksgiving is a response to the goodness and grace of God. God’s nature and love for us does not change based on our outward circumstances.

• Thankful prayer will replace anxiety with an unbelievable peace.

This Thanksgiving, let’s give thanks and create a Thanksgiving plan for the next 365 days.
