One of the wonderful reminders of Thanksgiving is the goodness and faithfulness of God. But more than this, it is the truth that God's character never changes, and that creating a thankful heart not only glorifies Him but brings great benefits into our lives. Benefits like obeying God's revealed will for our life, enabling us to rejoice always, sometimes in spite of our circumstances, to understand how to pray (without ceasing), and to be able to give thanks in all our circumstances, not just those circumstances that are easy and positive! This is God's will for the lives of believers, clearly explained by the Apostle Paul in I Thessalonians 5:16-18:
"Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus. Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you."
-Blessings! -Dr. Guy E. Glad
