His foundation is in the holy mountains. The LORD loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob. Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of GOD. Selah.
I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me: behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man was born there. And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the highest Himself shall establish her. The LORD shall count, when He writeth up the people, that this man was born there. Selah.
As well the singers as the players on instruments shall be there: all my springs are in thee. (Psalms 87:1-7)
We give thanks to GOD for all His benefits. We praise Him for His Creation, that was perfect until we sinned against a Holy and Righteous GOD. We praise Him for His drawing His people back to Him over and over again, despite their disobedience and rebellion. We praise Him for establishing His people in Israel, and exalting His holy city, Jerusalem.
But, most of all, we praise Him for humbly and willingly coming to earth as a man, and going obediently in our place to the Cross of Calvary to pay the sIn debt we cannot pay. We thank Him for His great Salvation that restores sinners to GOD, and brings us peace. Not peace in this world, because many are still at war with GOD, but peace in our hearts, since we are reconciled with our Creator; and peace with fellow believers for we are now a part of the Family of GOD, and members one of another.
At this time of Thanksgiving, remember to give thanks to GOD, for every good and perfect gift comes from Him. He is our provider, our sustainer, and our King. We worship Him and lift up His glorious name not just at Thanksgiving, but all the time.
If you don't know Him, if you have never repented of your sIn, and received Jesus Christ by faith in His finished work on that cruel Roman cross, GOD calls you to be born again. He is not willing that any should perish, but that you would come to the knowledge of the Truth that Jesus loves you and wants to establish a covenant relationship with you that is real and personal. Believe His Word and surrender to Him on His terms that He may forgive your sIn, and give you a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting. Receive His great Salvation, and you will really have something to be thankful for.
In Christ,
