A Thanksgiving Celebration

A Thanksgiving Celebration. This week as we all get together with family and friends to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday, let’s not forget to thank the One to whom we owe everything we have and are—God. Today I would like to share with you one of the devotionals from my book that talks about being thankful to the Lord for everything He has done for us. Be filled with joy!

Burst Out in Thanksgiving
286

Psalm 28:7 (NLT)
The Lord is my strength, my shield from every danger. I trust in him with all my heart. He helps me, and my heart is filled with joy. I burst out in songs of thanksgiving.

What a promise this is to us! In this verse, David is telling the Lord how much he trusts Him—with all his heart. We must follow David’s example of trust and thankfulness. For all the little and big things the Lord does for us on a daily basis, we ought to be bursting out in thankfulness.

You have much to thank God for. When you are feeling down (and we all have those days), just start thanking God by faith. After a few minutes, and a few things you say to thank Him, His Holy Spirit will fill you up with joy. That joy will start expanding in your heart until you are ready to burst.

Thank God for your job every day. If you are in transition, thank Him for the right job He has for you. We are to be women of thankful hearts.
