Thanksgiving for WHAT? In the light of what is, what is not, what is going to be, how then shall we proceed? At the very least in the light of life's realities, be thankful! God is good no matter what because He is God, and God's saving grace is sufficient for you. Thanksgiving Involves The Right Attitude A right attitude toward God is needed, not an attitude of indifference and rejection as in Romans 1:21 -"Because that, when they knew God, they glorified Him not as God, neither were [they] THANKFUL; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened." "This know also, that in the last days perilous (difficult] times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves... disobedient to parents, UNTHANKFUL, unholy" (2 Timothy 3:1-2). "O GIVE THANKS unto the LORD; for He is good: because His mercy endureth for ever. Let them now that fear the LORD say, that His mercy endureth for ever" (Psalm 118:1,4). "And His mercy is on them that fear Him from generation to generation" (Luke 1:50). Thanksgiving Involves The Right Action The right action is necessary. "O give thanks unto the LORD, for He is good: for His mercy endureth forever" (Psalm 107:1). Thank God for His mercy, for it is with a thankful heart that you can receive the priceless gift of God's Son. "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 6:23). "But as many as RECEIVED Him, to them gave He the power [right] to become the sons (children) of God, even to them that BELIEVE on His Name" (John 1:12). "But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name" (John 20:31). "Thanks be unto God for His unspeakable gift" (2 Corinthians 9:15). Thanksgiving Involves The Right Approach A genuine heart attitude of thanksGIVING ought to result in a life of thanksLIVING: "SERVE the LORD with gladness: come before HIS presence with singing. Know ye that the LORD He is God: It is He that hath 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 unto Him, and bless His name. For the LORD is good; His mercy is everlasting; and His truth endureth to all generations" (Psalm 100:2-5). Are you able to thank the Lord Jesus Christ for His saving presence in your life? Why not receive Him now as your personal Saviour because He "bore our sins in His own body on the tree" (1 Pet. 2:24).
