IN EVERY THING GIVE THANKS.

 
 
OCTOBER 25
 
I Thessalonians 5:18
In every thing give thanks: for this is the
will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
 
 
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.
 
Praise Him who by His word
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
