Psalm 100, “Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands. Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing. Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.”
As we prepare to share the bounty the Lord has provided let us pause to remember and count our many blessings. We are truly blessed to live in a free country. We may live with chaos but let us not forget the wars of the world have not yet been fought on our shores. We are free to express our opinions without fear. This country helps feed a large part of the peoples of the world. We are a free and diversified people who many times take our freedom for granted. Give thinks for all those who have paid the supreme sacrifice for freedom and for those who this day stands in harm’s way so that we can breathe free.
God has blessed because this country was founded on His Word and under His protection. As the Psalm so clearly states let us come before our Holy and righteous God with praise and thanksgiving. Let us stop and count our blessings. As we set down to a table filled with wonderful food and surrounded by family let us not forget to Thank God for what we are about to receive. Thank Him for our health and the health of our children and a roof over our heads.
Sing praises unto the Lord for had it not been for His blessings this day might not have happened. So pause for just a moment to count the many blessings God has spread before you on this Thanksgiving day.
