Giving Thanks
“A Psalm of Thanksgiving. Make a joyful shout to the LORD, all you lands! Serve the LORD with gladness; Come before His presence with singing. Know that the LORD, He [is] God; [It is] He [who] has made us, and not we ourselves; [We are] His people and the sheep of His pasture. Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, [And] into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, [and] bless His name. For the LORD [is] good; His mercy [is] everlasting, And His truth [endures] to all generations.” (Psalms 100:1-5 NKJV)
Give proper thanks to God. Let us not just go through the motions, or busy ourselves only with friends and family. Let us know that the Lord, He is God. He has made us. We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.
How blessed we are to have such a merciful God to rule over us and keep us. He is good. He has opened heaven to those who call on His name in faith. He is hope to the hopeless and light to the darkness.
Let us praise Him, praise Him for His love. He bore the stripes of our transgressions, and suffered the humiliation of the cross to glorify the Father and set us free. Lift up your voices and cry hosanna to the highest.
My family and I wish all of you the most blessed Thanksgiving ever. May our God richly bless you!
Happy Thanksgiving
