1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, NIV

You Are Blessed This Thanksgiving – 2024

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, NIV

Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

As the Scripture above states, we, as God’s children, should always be thankful, and be Joyful regardless of the circumstances we are experiencing – This is God’s Will for us! While a particular day is designated annually to celebrate thanksgiving here in the USA, as children of God- we are called by God to celebrate thanksgiving on a daily basis.

Throughout God’s Word, we are admonished to give thanks to God because of His Love, Faithfulness, Goodness, Mercy, etc., towards us [e.g. Psalm 95 :1-7; Psalm 100:4-5; Psalm 107:1-3; etc.).  In fact, it is God’s Will that we stay thankful – at all times (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18).

Some of you may be thinking you have nothing to be thankful for. Well, let me remind you of just 5 reasons why you are blessed, and hence should be thankful:

  1. You are breathing – which means you are alive, regardless of your health situation.  As long as you are alive, you are blessed!
  2. You have made the Lord Jesus your personal Lord and Savior- hence your eternity is secured (John 10:27-28). This security in the Lord is enough to be thankful every day!
  3. You have at least One meal today! Friend, are you aware that thousands of people Worldwide will go without a meal today? Friend – consider yourself as being blessed!
  4. You have a job – there are several thousands of people who are qualified to work yet are jobless. With having a job, you can pay your bills- indeed you are truly blessed!
  5. You have your family, friends and other loved ones around. On the contrary, countless of individuals do not have family members close by to visit regularly.

Friend, with the above stated reasons, do you now see why and how you are indeed blessed, and have so much to be thankful for?  As 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 noted, we should: Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

Friend, may you enjoy your blessings today and this thanksgiving 2024, in Jesus’ Name!

Happy Thanksgiving 2024

Sincerely,
Dr. Ruth Tanyi
