The gift of thanks … to God.
It is not enough to just be thankful; we need to realize that “God did it.”
Many millions of people are thankful but don’t realize that God is there, that God did it.
Case in point …
I heard our furnace “kick on” this morning and immediately was aware of the provision of God.
Instantly I knew that God had provided the warm breeze flowing through our house.
The same thing often happens when I push my Delta handle forward and to the left and get hot, fresh water from the tap. Or push it forward and to the right for a cool refreshing drink.
- Deuteronomy 6.10-12
The Lord your God will bring you into the land he promised to your ancestors, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and he will give it to you. The land has large, growing cities you did not build, houses full of good things you did not buy, wells you did not dig, and vineyards and olive trees you did not plant. You will eat as much as you want. But be careful! Do not forget the Lord, who brought you out of the land of Egypt where you were slaves.
So I don’t forget and not forgetting I know that God will continue to provide forever.
I am so thankful for my gift.
