Good morning,
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. I would encourage each of you to set a portion of the day aside to remember all the things God has done for you this year. Then spend time thanking Him. Please meditate on this devotional. God is in control, takes our sin, gives us His grace, and supplies all our needs. We should be a very thankful people.
Thanksgiving is never out of season!
(James Smith)
“In everything give thanks, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus!” 1 Thessalonians 5:18
Everything we enjoy should be viewed as coming from the gracious and liberal hand of our sovereign God.
All was forfeited by our sin.
All that we receive is by His grace.
The providence that supplies us–is the wisdom, benevolence, and power of God in operation for us–as expressive of His infinite love and unmerited grace!
Our talents to provide supplies,
our opportunities to obtain them,
and our abilities to enjoy them,
–are alike from the Lord.
Every mercy increases our obligation–and deepens our debt to free grace!
Thanksgiving is never out of season, for we have always much to be grateful for.
We must view all things as . . .
arranged by His wisdom,
dependent on His will,
sanctified by His blessing,
according with His promises,
and flowing from His love!
“In everything give thanks!” 1 Thessalonians 5:18
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
