GIVING THANKS TO THE LORD

Thursday, November 25, 2010
HAPPY THANKSGIVING DAY
Colossians 2: 6,7
As ye have, therefore, received Christ JESUS the LORD, so walk ye in Him, rooted and built up in Him, and established in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding with thanksgiving.

THANKSGIVING DEMONSTRATES FAITH IN GOD

Thanksgiving is proof that faith is alive in the person. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of GOD. The fruit of faith is giving thanks. Faith is part of the fruit of the Holy Spirit and comes from GOD. A thankful heart knows GOD who is love and goodness, gratitude overflows from them. Through faith we know that GOD is GOD and He created all things. By faith we know that JESUS is our redeemer, through His shed Blood and that we are reconciled to GOD through Him. By faith we know that all the promises in the Word of GOD are true and that GOD will perform what He has promised. All this we know by faith and this knowledge causes us to abound in thanksgiving. WE ARE ALIVE BECAUSE HE LIVES.

Philippians 4: 6,7 tells us to be "anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and supplication with THANKSGIVING, let your requests be made known unto GOD, and the peace of GOD, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ JESUS."
Through faith we know Him; by faith we thank Him; and through Him we have peace.
Both faith and peace are part of the fruit of the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5: 22,23).

ON THIS THANKSGIVING DAY, LET THE PEACE OF JESUS ABIDE IN YOU.
THANKS BE TO GOD
