Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving

“Worship the LORD with gladness; 
come before him with joyful songs. 
Know that the LORD is God. It is he who made us, 
and we are his; we are his people, 
the sheep of his pasture. 
Enter his gates with thanksgiving 
and his courts with praise;
 give thanks to him and praise his name. 
For the LORD is good 
and his love endures forever; 
his faithfulness continues 
through all generations.” 
Psalm 100:2-5
Today is the Thanksgiving holiday here in Canada. A time when we give thanks for all we have.
As a Christian I praise God for all He has done for me. My life has not been a constant high. Even the American Evangelist Billy Graham said,
“The Christian life is not a constant high. I have my moments of deep discouragement. I have to go to God in prayer with tears in my eyes, and say, 'O God, forgive me,' or 'Help me.'” Billy Graham.
Still in Good times and in bad times God has always been there for me. Helping me thorough the bad times. Giving me peace knowing that no matter what I am going thorough He is with me.
I as a Christian can honestly say with the Psalmist,
“The LORD is my shepherd, 
I shall not be in want. 
He makes me lie down in green pastures, 
he leads me beside quiet waters, 
he restores my soul. 
He guides me in paths of righteousness 
for his name’s sake. 
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
 I will fear no evil, for you are with me; 
your rod and your staff, they comfort me. 
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. 
You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. 
Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, 
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.” 
Psalm 23
Can you?
Please think about it.
