Thanksgiving
1 Thessalonians 5:18
In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
As we enter the “Thanksgiving Season,” we should pause for a moment to consider what we are really doing. In all actuality, what we are doing is setting a time and a season to do what we should be doing all year long.
Thankfulness should characterize the Christian life in every circumstance. Not thanks for everything but thanks in everything. Paul emphatically states “this is the will of God.” An Old Testament example of this was when Job lost his children, his wealth, and his health. He blessed the name of God in spite of his personal tragedies, not because of them. Nothing speaks more powerfully of a walk with God than continuous thanksgiving.
Teresa and I hope everyone has a continual season of Thanksgiving.
Yours in Christ,
Pastor Jeff
