On Thursday of this next week, people across our nation will pause their regular routines for Thanksgiving. We easily lose the original focus of the day in the hubbub of extravagant food, football, online shopping, and traditions. At its heart and origin, the day is a time for reflecting on the blessings God gives and giving Him thanks. We know there have been years in our past when we were overwhelmed by the blessings we could see in our lives. We also know there have been years when we had to look a little bit deeper to find them.
It is good for us this Sunday to be reminded why God would tell us in his Word: “Give thanks in all circumstances.” (1 Thessalonians 5:18). Give thanks to him for he does not change. Give thanks to him because his blessings are still with us. Give thanks to him because he keeps all his promises.
