I will probably not have time to post a blog on Thanksgiving. I will be spending the day with family out of town. So I post my thoughts today. The psalmist expressed at least four reasons for giving thanks in verse three of Psalm 100.
1. The Lord is God. No matter what is happening in and around your life, God still reigns in heaven and on earth.
2. God has uniquely created you. He has made you with a plan and purpose for this life. And just because He has made you, that does not mean that He is done with making you. You are in the process of being completed.
3. You belong to God. That's ownership. Call it security in an unsecure world.
4. You are part of a bigger community. As sheep we get to rest beside still waters and graze in green pastures.
May your thoughts be filled with thankfulness and heart full of joy this Thanksgiving as you meditate upon the words of the Psalmist.
