Reasons We Should Be Thankful
Soon we will be celebrating another Thanksgiving holiday with family and friends. Thanksgiving should be a way of life for Christians, not just something we do once a year. There are many reasons given in Scripture why we should have a heart of gratitude. Let me just mention a few.
We should always be thankful…
- Because He is our Creator and Sustainer (Revelation 4:11). He is worthy of all thanksgiving and praise because He created all things, and that includes us.
- Because He is our Redeemer (Revelation 5:12). He is continually praised in Heaven because He is the Lamb of God who sacrificed His life for our sins. We can never take that for granted.
- Because He is our only hope (Psalm 27:7-12). We can always depend on God for any need. He is our hope in a hopeless world.
- Because it is God’s will no matter what the circumstance may be (1 Thessalonians 5:18). We can be thankful no matter what because we know God controls every circumstance in our lives to make us more like Jesus (Romans 8:28-29).
I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving, but let’s be thankful every day because our God deserves it.
