This year as we observe our season of Thanksgiving, let us be grateful not only in word but also in deed. Let our gratitude find expression in a resolve to live a life more unselfish and more consecrated to Jesus Christ.
When we sit around our tables laden with sumptuous delicacies, let us not forget that many around the world will go to bed hungry.
As we go to our churches to thank God for material and spiritual blessings, let us remember the servants of God in many parts of the world who deprive themselves in order to take the Gospel to the millions who have not yet been reached with the message of Christ.
Scripture teaches that the good things of this life are the gifts of God, and that He is the giver of all our blessings. James 1:17 declares that “every good gift … is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights.”
Heavenly Father, forgive us when we take Your goodness for granted. Give us thankful hearts as we continue to enjoy Your bountiful gifts. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
