He who offers a sacrifice of thanksgiving honors me. - Psalm 50:23
What do you do when your life is going south? What do you do when it
is “THANKSGIVING” and you have just lost a loved one… or just lost your
job… or just lost your marriage? Surely you cannot be expected to give
thanks… can you?
Sometimes thanksgiving is a sacrifice. Sometimes we must thank God
through clenched teeth and chocked back tears. Thanksgiving in the
midst of a terrible storm brings tremendous joy to His heart. It shows
the Lord that we really trust Him… regardless of the adverse
circumstances we are facing.
THE THANKSGIVING CONSTANT
Perhaps you are one this year who is having trouble finding good in
your life. Look no further than Jesus. He never changes. Despite
everything you might be facing, you can rejoice in Him. You can give
thanks for Him and His love and care for you. You can give thanks that
He promised to work all things together for good.
Train yourself to give thanks in everything. Remember… a sacrifice of
thanksgiving brings honor to the Lord. Thank Him for that trial you are
facing. Thank Him for that sorrow. He will use your thanks for His
glory and your ultimate good!
