Thanksgiving

Psalms 107:1-8
1  Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.
2  Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, Whom He has redeemed from the hand of the enemy,
3  And gathered out of the lands, From the east and from the west, From the north and from the south.
4  They wandered in the wilderness in a desolate way; They found no city to dwell in.
5  Hungry and thirsty, Their soul fainted in them.
6  Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, And He delivered them out of their distresses.
7  And He led them forth by the right way, That they might go to a city for a dwelling place.
8  Oh, that men would give thanks to the LORD for His goodness, And for His wonderful works to the children of men!

When you study it out the Lord was always looking for the children of Israel to remember to praise and thank Him for how He had delivered them out of Egypt. However, the journey through the wilderness was difficult and they soon forgot his miracles and failed to give Him the honor and thanks. It tells us in Hebrews that we should take warning from their failure and not be the same way! Let's decide today to be among those who remember to THANK and praise all the time! Since we cannot do that on our own the good news is if we ask, He will help to remind us as well!  

Happy Thanksgiving!
