All of us have something to be thankful to God. If we don't have much of material things or a good house life, God has still given us much to be thankful. It is his mercy, and grace that we live. The bible says in Titus 3:7 that we are being justified by his grace. But sometimes we forget all the good things that God has done for us and promised to us, and are ungrateful to God.
The Bible says in the last days, people would become unthankful. The blessings that we inherit, is not just because of our hard work but by the grace and mercy of the Lord. Because the bible says in Deuteronomy 8:18 “Remember the LORD your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth”
Sometimes there are situations that we have no way to turn except reaching out to God. God is always there, waiting to help. And it is our hope that he would certainly help. But once when our prayers are answered, what is our gratitude to Him who helped us in times of trouble?
Whenever we think of the blessing and thank God, we are honor Him for his mercy and grace. God acknowledges that. "In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you" says the bible in 1 Thessalonians 5:18. Yes God prefers that we should thank Him, praise Him and Honor him because when we thank Him, We come closer to Him.
Today let us come closer to Lord Jesus with thanksgiving by recollecting all that he has done for us sofar.
