True thanksgiving begins in the heart and flows upward as we lift our prayers and songs of gratitude to God. The Bible, says, “Let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God … the fruit of our lips giving thanks to His name” (Hebrews 13:15). I want to suggest several things that you will find are important as you consider how. Therefore, you and I need to ask how we can be a thankful people at this season. And we know that God delights in the praises of His people. It is a very wonderful opportunity to exercise our sacred duty and high privilege of praising God for His goodness and mercy to us. So for us as believers, Thanksgiving is far above being a day of hearty feasting and being entertained by sports. It seems unlikely that one can know God and not be grateful! I think you will agree that grace and gratitude are inextricable interwoven. The Bible tells us time and again to be thankful. “O give thanks unto the Lord for He is good: for His mercy endureth forever.” Psalm 106:1.
