Happy Thanksgiving!
I am sure that we all know why we celebrate Thanksgiving. The Pilgrims thanked God for bringing them out of the starvation that was in the land, and since they were out of England, they could thank God the way they wanted! They had a big feast that lasted for days! Yum.
But I have always wondered if the Bible supports Thanksgiving. Lets see…
Psalms 95:1-3, “Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord; let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation. Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song. For the Lord is the great God, the great King above all gods.”
Psalms 100:1-5, “Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth. Worship the Lord with gladness; come before him with joyful songs. Know that the Lord is God. It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.”
1 Corinthians 10:16, “Is not the cup of thanksgiving for which we give thanks a participation in the blood of Christ? And is not the bread that we break a participation in the body of Christ?”
Philippians 4:6-7, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your request to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
Cool! Philippians 4:6-7 is amazing! The peace of God will guard your heart and your mind in Jesus Christ but only if we go to Him in prayer, petition and with thanksgiving.
Well, I hope this post made sense to you all. What did you think about this post? Please, let me know!
