Thanksgiving


Thanksgiving
Romans 1:21

Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

----------------------------------------------
One of the elementary problems that lead to a foolish and darkened heart is ungratefulness. When we forget to acknowledge God and continually thank him for small things as much as big things in life, we grow cold and vain and our hearts become numb. Being thankful will keep us sensitive and mindful of our dependence upon God. It will also remind us of the wonderful love God has for us in providing the simplest of life's little necessaties and benefits. So let's not be weary in being thankful and mindful of God's goodness to us. It will keep us closer to him and away from sin.

1Thessalonians 5:18

In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
