Psalms 100:4, “Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.”
This Psalm tells us that if we would come into the presence of God, we must come with praise and thanksgiving in our hearts. The truth is we should do this every day. There is a phrase in that verse that gets less attention bur it is the key to thanksgiving; it is, be thankful. To be thankful means we have an attitude of gratitude. It is an ongoing process and not a once a year experience.
When we pause to remember all our God has done for us, we are blessed indeed and we all should be thankful. Never does a day go by that we are not the recipients of something to be thankful for. Our thankfulness should make every day a day of thanksgiving. If we are a truly thankful people, the fourth Thursday in November, each year, will take on a whole new meaning.
Happy Thanksgiving
Hi Jimmie -
ReplyDeleteYes, you are on point with this message for the need to be steadily thankful. Your "attitude of gratitude" statement struck me, in particular, because in the spring of this year, that is what I placed on the voice mail message of my business, Solid Journey.
Thank you, Jimmie, for sharing your beliefs about the importance of being thankful every day.
