What is Thanks-giving? It means being grateful to God for who He is and what He has done. Giving Thanks shows maturity, understanding, knowledge, wisdom, trust, faith, that we know and acknowledge God, and also for what has been done for us.
When we travel, it’s so easy for us to trust the pilots flying our plane than it is to trust God. And in most cases, we may never know or see the pilot, and yet we have confidence in them.
Funny but ironic isn’t it? The whole world is in a state of panic and confusion right now because of coronavirus pandemic, and to some “where is God now?” to others why did God allow this?”
But our Father is still in heaven, He has not relocated, He’s not under any house arrest, or in the hospital bed.
He is still where He was when Job lost everything, Daniel was cast into lion’s den, the 3 Hebrew boys were thrown into fire, Paul and Silas beaten and imprisoned, His only begotten son crucified on the cross. The King of kings is still on the throne. Hallelujah
1 Thess. 5:18 says, “In everything give thank s: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” The just shall live by faith” the bible says, not by fear or sight. Our Lord and savior Jesus Christ when He was faced with the death of Lazarus gave thanks in John 11:41-42 saying, “Father, I thank thee that Thou has heard me. And I knew that Thou hearest me always.” In Psalm 100:4 the bible says, “I will enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise.”
So, people of God, which side do we stand, where is God, or Thanks to God? May the Lord help us to be more thankful, in Jesus mighty Name. Amen.
You will have a great turn-around this 2020.
Remain blessed.
Shalom.
