Thank ???

In the United States, we have recently celebrated a day of Thanksgiving. It is a national holiday that seems to be slipping away. This day was set aside to thank God for all of His provisions. But it is trendier to thank each other and leave God out of the picture.

I went to a Thanksgiving service and the pastor asked us to make a list of what we are thankful. Then he challenged us to note the items that cannot be taken away from us; items such as peace, joy, being saved from the judgment of God, God’s faithfulness, the gift of Jesus and healing that only can come through the power of God. Being thankful for things that no man can take away can bring us to a place of security.

“For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels not principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”  Romans 8:38,39  NKJV
