One of Andre' Crouch's songs, "TO GOD BE THE GLORY" starts, "How can I say Thanks for the things you have done for me, things so undeserved, yet you gave to prove your love for me..."
Well, we are going to give THANKS to God for ALL He has done for us. We sing, look at the Word, and have a time of GIVING OF THANKS.
I would like to challenge you to think of something God has done for you THIS YEAR, and proclaim it during the service.
We are told by the Apostle Paul in 1 Timothy 2:1 that "....Supplications, prayers, intercessions AND GIVING OF THANKS, be made for all men." Over and over, God asks, no COMMANDS us to GIVE THANKS with a GRATEFUL HEART. King David tells us to give thanks in the congregation.
So, we MUST thank God for His goodness, and not only with THANKSGIVING, but with PRAISE as well. So, as we worship today, and prepare our hearts for this special day called THANKSGIVING, let us make the giving of thanks a part of our DAILY lives, and NOT just once per year!
My prayer for you this Thanksgiving in 2009 is that you be BLESSED, and that you be able to share your blessings with another brother or sister.
