"Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." (Proverbs 3:5-6)

Thanksgiving day before

Ephesians 5:20 – giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, (NKJV)
And:
1 Thes. 5:18 - in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. (NKJV)
This day, Thanksgiving Day, marks another year of total thanks for all things that the Lord has brought into our lives. He is so GOOD and He is so FAITHFUL. There can be no other response from our hearts than “Thank You!”

Are you not glad that we will have all eternity to say “Thank YOU” to our great God and Savior Jesus Christ? I tell my students often, “If we can not spend 10 minutes today with the LORD of the universe, Savior of all and Sovereign over everything, what makes us look forward to being with HIM FOREVER? “ Same with thanksgiving – If I cannot thank Him for all that He is doing today (“Your will be done on earth as it is done in heaven.”) what makes me think that I will thank Him for all eternity.

Practice today what we will do for eternity. Fall on your knees before Him, rejoice in the Lord, give thanks, call upon His Name, and spend time with our Lord Jesus who we say, “we can’t wait to be with Him forever.”
