There Is Power in Thanksgiving!<br />
This is the season of thankfulness. It's a time to count our blessings and<br />
praise God, a time to be thankful for what He has done for us.<br />
Psalm 100:4 5 says, "Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into<br />
His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name. For the<br />
Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting, and His truth endures to all<br />
generations." The Lord is good! He not only created us, but He<br />
personally takes care of us. He is working for us right now. And even<br />
when we don't feel like it, we need to give thanks and praise to Him.<br />
That's the real test of our Christianity, isn't it? Can we thank God in<br />
every situation thrown our way? Paul and Silas could. They were<br />
beaten and locked up in chains in an inner prison. They could have<br />
grumbled and complained. That would have been easy. But prayed and<br />
sing praises to God.<br />
In a bad situation, these men chose to give thanks to their Heavenly<br />
Father. They weren't giving thanks because of their situation. They<br />
were giving thanks because they knew God was their source. And He<br />
delivered them!<br />
It's not always easy to thank God in dif cult situations, but that's what<br />
we're supposed to do. There is power in thanksgiving! Continually<br />
thanking God strengthens our faith.<br />
Whatever you're facing today, I encourage you, don't quit! Instead, start<br />
thanking God. Begin to count your blessings. Your faith will be<br />
strengthened, and you will come through victorious.<br />
Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours!<br />
