BE THANKFUL 

Do you love the Thanksgiving season? I sure do! With the end of 2020 quickly coming to a close, we have no time to waste! There is no need to wait for Thanksgiving day; every day is a day to give thanks! I love the attitude and words of apostle Paul in 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18. He says, “Rejoice in the Lord always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” Talk about great advice! You have heard it said, “Your attitude determines your altitude.” How true this is! Below is a dose of the attitude we should take during this Thanksgiving season. 

Psalm 34:1-3, 8-10  I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth. 2My soul shall make its boast in the Lord; The humble shall hear of it and be glad. 3Oh, magnify the Lord with me and let us exalt His name together. 

Later on in the chapter, he goes on to say,  8 Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good; 

Blessed is the man who trusts in Him! 9Oh, fear the Lord, you His saints! There is no want to those who fear Him. 10The young lions lack and suffer hunger, But those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing.  

A heart of gratitude towards God is powerful! King David’s bold decision to bless the Lord at all times shows how genuinely thankful he was. Are you grateful for all that God has done for you? Do you live your moments and days living in and exuding a thankful heart? 

A thankful heart is a result of believing God. Those who trust in God are those who have the power to be thankful! When you know that God will make a way for you, you will be empowered to have a thankful heart! 

The love of God is chasing you down! He is making a way for you! Will you believe him? The wonderful things that God has planned for you will be made known as you put the full weight of your trust in him! What an opportunity you have! The principles of God will work every single time for you when you put them to work! Have you made up your mind yet? It is time for Thanksgiving! Now is the time to determine to be like King David and make a quality choice to…
