In every thing give thanks: for this is the
Every thing we enjoy should be viewed as
coming from the liberal hand of God; all was forfeited by sin; what we receive
is of grace.
The providence that supplies us, is the
wisdom, benevolence, and power of God in operation for us; as expressive of His
infinite love and unmerited grace.
Talents to provide supplies, opportunities to
obtain, and ability to enjoy, are alike from the Lord.
Every mercy increases our obligation and
deepens our debt.
Thanksgiving is the ordinance that God has
appointed, that we may express our gratitude, and knowledge of our obligation;
and our thanksgiving are acceptable and well-pleasing in His sight.
Thanksgiving is never out of season, for we
always much to be thankful for.
In every thing we should give thanks to that end
view all things arranged by His wisdom, dependant upon His will, sanctified by His
blessing, according with His promises, and flowing from His love.
All our blessings come through Jesus, and all
our promises must ascend through Him; for our Father only accepts what is
presented in the name of His beloved son.
Thank God, take courage, and press forward.
Supplies our every need,
And gives us Christ the Lord
Our hungry souls to feed;
Thanks be to God for every good,
Eternal thanks for Jesu’s blood.
James Smith
