Being #Thankful In All Circumstances

Instead of one Thanksgiving Day, consider living a thanksgiving life. There are an infinite number of reasons to give thanks to God.

As you sit before the Lord today, think of those personal, intimate reasons you have to give thanks to the Lord—things you might be hesitant to share in a group setting but which you know are true. Every Christian knows who they were before and after knowing Christ (1 Corinthians 6:9-11). Give thanks today for the new person you are in Him (2 Corinthians 5:17)—that you are different from how you were.

Thanksgiving Life

It is good to give thanks to the Lord, and to sing praises to Your name, O Most High; to declare Your lovingkindness in the morning, and Your faithfulness every night.
Psalm 92:1-2

At many Thanksgiving gatherings, attendees share what they are most thankful for before partaking of the meal. Some mention things that apply to all people: life, health, family, friendships—all worthy reasons to be thankful. Christians have reasons to be thankful for Jesus Christ, for forgiveness, for salvation, for the Scriptures, and more. Depending on the closeness of the group, some individuals might be bold enough to mention more personal reasons to be thankful: deliverance from an addiction, the restoration of a marriage, a changed life, and more.
