THANKSGIVING

It is interesting that in general most people complain all year long but then a National Holiday calls us all to be thankful and then there are numerous facebook posts about how thankful we are. Well this is a great reminder for all of us to be thankful all year long regardless of our circumstances. I know for me personally that one of my businesses has been hit very hard because of the economy and it would be very easy for me to worry and be anxious but that would be sin. I am taking the right actions I need to and be responsible with what God has given me but the bottom line is that God has given me exactly what HE wants me to have not only financially but in everything.

Psalm 7:17 I will give thanks to the LORD according to His righteousness, And will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High."

Giving thanks is a determined exercise by us that is a discipline. Just think about the most important thing you have to be thankful for - the fact that Jesus Christ (God Himself) lowered Himself and took the form of man to redeem man from His sins and to input His Righteousness (applying His perfect fulfillment of God's requirements for you to be saved) to you. Think about it - He does not redeemed the fallen angels but He did that for those He has CHOSEN TO SAVE - Yes make no mistake my friend - YOU DID NOT CHOOSE GOD - HE CHOSE YOU. Now that is something to be thankful for if you are one of HIS. If you are apart from Christ - today is the day to repent of your sins and stop putting your trust in your works and put all your trust in Christ and HIM ALONE.

Have a great thanksgiving but don't stop giving thanks all year long.
