Thanking God is something that goes beyond words. It is a way to show our gratitude for all the goodness and blessings that He has bestowed upon us. But it’s also a way of surrendering control and placing our trust and faith in God. Apostle Paul emphasized the importance of expressing gratitude to God in his epistles and urged believers to do the same. As I reflect on giving thanks to God, I realize that it brings me a sense of peace and helps me to focus on who God is and all that He does in our lives. The extent of God’s goodness is beyond our understanding, and even when we are not faithful or going through tough times, He remains faithful and good.

Giving thanks to God helps us to keep our eyes on Him through it all.

As we express our gratitude, we experience the joy of God’s presence, which revives our hearts to have faith in the Lord. If you are going through tough times and it seems like God hasn’t been good to you, I urge you to still give thanks to Him. Even if you can’t find anything else to be thankful for, give thanks to God for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Christ is the ultimate demonstration of God’s love for us, and when we give thanks to Him, we find peace and rest in God.

This season, let us affirm our faith in God as a good Father who is always working for our good by giving Him thanks. As we give thanks to Him, we express our faith and trust in Him, allowing His peace to fill our hearts and assure us that we have victory in Christ Jesus. When we give thanks to God amidst the challenges in our lives, we are:

(1) we are affirming our faith in God’s word and that we trust in Him

(2)saying that our Lord Jesus Christ is more than enough for us, and we are grateful for our salvation in Him. And of course in the end, victory is ours in Jesus name!

Here are two scriptures I urge us to soak in during this Thanksgiving season:

“And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful.”
‭‭Colossians‬ ‭3‬:‭15‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

“And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.”
‭‭Colossians‬ ‭3‬:‭17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Happy Thanksgiving to you all and always remember that Jesus Christ dearly loves you! Be blessed.
