6 As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, 7 rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving. [Colossians 2:6-7]
Once again we are coming upon the Thanksgiving holiday here in the U.S.A. I love the holidays! Thanksgiving for some is a day of remembrance; remembering all that God has done for us. Remembering how blessed we are. For many it is the only time of year they ever give God a second thought and yet for others, they never even acknowledge Him on that day. For many the prayer around the dinner table will be nothing more than a ritual.
The Apostle puts thanksgiving into perspective for us from Gods point of view. For the Christian every day should be thanksgiving. Our life, our daily walk with Him, should reflect how thankful we are for what Jesus has done for us. If we are really thankful then we will do more than just say we are. We will learn more about Him, become better servants of Him, and trust Him more each day. That He may know we are truly thankful for what He has done for us. Let us not only tell Him how thankful we are but let’s show Him!
