Giving Thanks in Every Season
The holiday season is a mix of emotions – for some it’s a time of joy and
celebration, while for others, it can be a season of struggle and hardship. Young
couples get married and experience their first holiday season together; people
have lost loved ones and are being reminded of them during this time; babies
are celebrating their first holiday season; and foster or adopted children are
experiencing their first Christmas together with their new families. Through the
good times and bad, we can still be thankful for what God is doing in our lives.
The Lord desires that we neither give in to sadness or gloom nor grow
complacent in times of abundance but instead praise Him in every circumstance.
“Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the
will of God in Christ Jesus for you” (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18). The greatest
blessing that we can be thankful for is the gift of salvation. “Thanks be to God
for His indescribable gift!” (2 Corinthians 9:12-15). Through any circumstance, we
should show gratitude toward God for what He has done for us.
God knows exactly what you are going through, and He wants to be there
for you in every season, times of joy and times of challenge.
“Praise the LORD! Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good!
For His mercy endures forever” (Psalms 106:1).
This Thanksgiving, reflect on all the great things God has done in your life.
Maybe it’s a new job, a new house, a family, or friends. Or maybe it is as simple
as providing food for you, giving you shelter, giving you breath in your lungs, or a
heart that beats. Whatever it is, give thanks to God even in the simple things
because that can change your whole perspective on life, and this can be a
reminder to not overlook what the Lord has graciously provided for you.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
