What shall I return to the Lord for all His goodness to me? … I will sacrifice a thank offering to you and call on the name of the Lord.” Psalm 116:12,17 NLT
Thanksgiving
This is what God desires from His children
An attitude of gratitude
A refusal to assume that God’s gifts are our due
A heart that overflows with thankfulness
A recognition that God’s gifts are pure grace and an act of love towards His beloved
Thanksgiving
Not just for what He does
But for who He is
Loving
Compassionate
Merciful
Slow to anger
Patient
Everlasting
Savior
Redeemer
Father
Giver of all good things
Healer
Comforter
Holy
Praise-worthy
All-powerful
All-knowing
Peace
Present
Completeness
Faithful
I am – the One who continually reveals Himself to us in new ways – our everything.
Prayer: Today, Lord, I give thanks not just for all you have done and all you have blessed me with, but for who You are. Let me never be silent in the presence of your good gifts but let my soul cry out in praise. Amen.
Thought: Thanksgiving is the response of a heart that cannot be silenced.
