This
year as we observe our season of thanksgiving, let us be grateful not
only in word but also in deed. Let our gratitude find expression in a
resolve to live a life more unselfish and more consecrated to Jesus
Christ. When we sit around our tables laden with sumptuous delicacies,
let us not forget that half the world will go to bed hungry. As we enjoy
the comforts of our cozy homes, let us not forget that great numbers in
other parts of the world have no homes to go to. When we step into our sleek automobiles, let us not forget that most
of the people in the world cannot afford even a bicycle. In the Lord’s
Prayer as recorded in the sixth chapter of Matthew, we read, “Give us
this day our daily bread.” Scripture teaches that the good things of
this life are the gifts of God, and that He is the donor of all our
blessings. Thanksgiving? Yes. Let us get on our knees humbly and thank
God for the blessings He has given us, both material and spiritual. They
have come from His hands.
Prayer for the day
You bring me such abundance, almighty God.
As I think of Thanksgiving Day, may my heart be completely consecrated
to Your Son, Jesus Christ, so that through Him my life will show my
gratitude to You.
