![]() I said earlier that the remedy for so many physical and mental problems is the giving of thanks. Because it all works together for our good (Romans 8:28). He wants the Christians here in Thessalonica to get it, and God wants all Christians to get it that we are to give thanks in everything (I Thessalonians 5:18). The next time we are tempted to complain about something give thanks. True thanksgiving is not a feeling, remember it’s an attitude! Our attitude should be that of gratitude to God! He certainly doesn’t want Christians with a bad attitude, to be thankful when we feel like it. See, God doesn’t want Christians to be a sometime people. That should be our attitude, that of a thankful heart, a THANKFUL and grateful heart! Not sometimes but all the time. And so, it is with giving thanks, gratitude is an attitude.Ĭhristians of all people on the face of the earth have every reason to be filled with gratitude. When somebody gave us something, they would say “What are you supposed to say?” and we’d say, “Thank you!” Community, it’s the attitude. Some of us were taught by our parents when we were young. When we are truly grateful to somebody for something that they did we express that gratitude in action at the least we tell them thank you! If we have a bad attitude about the church we will give the church a half-hearted service.īut, if we have a good attitude we will give our best in all of the above. If we have a bad attitude about marriage, we will treat our spouses with disrespect, sometimes verbal and physical abuse. We’ll be late, do sloppy work, lay out from work, and get written warnings. If we have a bad attitude about our jobs, we will not do a good job. It’s the attitude and gratitude that we are to have with God, and giving thanks is an attitude.įriends, anything that we do is determined by the attitude that we have concerning it. Community, there’s nothing wrong with just being thankful for we the Christian believers are thankful for all of the above, but the primary object of our thanks is God. There should always be an object of our thanks. People who are thankful for their church give thanks to their church. That’s their object! People who are married and are thankful for their spouses give thanks to their spouses. Listen to the language of a lot of the people of the world, and they will say that they are thankful, but they don’t mention to whom they are thankful and certainly they don’t mention God! I believe, and the scripture teaches, that there should always be an object of thanksgiving.Ĭhildren who are thankful for their parents give thanks to their parents. For I have found out that for most people there is no object of their thanksgiving, they’re just thankful. ![]() Being thankful FOR something or somebody is another thing. The fact that our nation set aside a day for national thanksgiving is a wonderful thing because if nothing else it calls the nation to be thankful, but just being thankful is one thing. The joining of hands around the dinner table and everybody praying together there’s nothing wrong with that community in and of itself. Actually, it is a dishonor to God to wait until a certain time of the year to highlight thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is not built around the dinner table on a certain day. They don’t see or out of just ignorance (not knowing) we have forfeited one of the most powerful prescriptions there is and in this season of thanksgiving, I hope somebody will grab a hold of this, thanksgiving for the Christian is not a once-a-year tradition. One of the best remedies for so many issues physically and mentally is the giving of thanks. ![]() When we read scriptures that reflect on all that we must be thankful for and read them out loud, we can find renewed hearts that are filled with peace and joy.
