What Is Thanksgiving ?

It is an expression of gratitude for what God is and His uncommon mercies!

We ought to graduate from thanksgiving day to a thanksgiving life,i.e.,it should be on a daily basis.

Please note the following about thanksgiving:

(1)Thanksgiving is more meaningful when it is voluntary,i.e.,willingly without being compelled.Lev.22;29.


(2)It involves praise and worship to the Lord.Most of us do that only in the church.Neh.12:46.

(3)It is an offering to God.Ps.116:17.

(4)It is not something that is leftover.Some of us offer God something that does not worth it.2Sam.24:24.

(5)It reflects well on the blessings of God.i.e.,we thank God only for the good times,forgetting that God is also God of the bad times.1Thes.5:18;Ps.69:30.

(6)It is about God and not really what we get from Him.Ps.30:4.

(7)It is a recognition of the sources of the blessings you get from Him.Ps.103:1-5.

God bless you a you make thanksgiving every moment of your life.A grateful heart will NEVER be grounded.

Shalom!
