it is time to give thanks

 


November is here and the time to give thanks and for Thanksgiving.  It is a time of giving thanks.  Mark it out.

 

Continue reading your Bible.  The Bible makes a beeline to being thankful.  You can find that in the Old and New Testaments.  You find it in difficult places and in the celebration places.  Being thankful is more than words.  It is a pattern of living.  That is why is it time to give thanks.


Psalm 106:1  NLT  

Praise the Lord! Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever.

 

That says it all.  It is time to give thanks because God is good!


Colossians 2:7  NLT  

Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness.


The roots show.  That is why what you put in your life makes a great difference.  Choose to be thankful, and it will show.  It is time to give thanks!


Philippians 4:6  NLT  

Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.


Anxiety and fear are kicked out by faith.  And faith is marked by being thankful.  That is another reason why it is time to give thanks!


1 Thessalonians 5:8  NLT 

Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.


It is God’s will that we are thankful.  Being thankful shows our connection to God and His work in our lives.  Therefore, the lack of being thankful shows our lack of connection to God.  It is time to give thanks!


Have a great day, and it is time to giving thanks!
