We live in a world today where many believe
whatever material possessions they have, the
good health they walk in, the freedom of
speech they enjoy, the liberty to go when ever
or where ever they desire, the ability to
worship whomever or whatever they believe
and even their choice to receive salvation are
all somehow owed to them without regard of
the efforts and sometimes overwhelming
sacrifices made by others for them to enjoy all
of the aforementioned and so much more. The
idea or concept of “choosing to be thankful”
eludes them. They pose the question, “Why
should I be thankful … I have a right to all of
these things!” If they would only take the time
to delve into the who, what, how and when of
the innumerable blessings they enjoy, they
would be clearly enlightened of how such came
to be. It is a subtle snare of the enemy to keep
us so busy with the activities of life that we
lulled into not wanting to know or understand
the liberating power, blessing and joy of
“choosing to be thankful.”
“Choosing to be thankful” simply means
understanding the true source of all that we
possess and enjoy. That source is God the
Father, God the Son and the Holy Spirit. When
we come into the knowledge that our God, the
divine creator of man, the universe and all it
encompasses, we begin a lifelong journey of
what it means to humble ourselves and be truly
thankful for all we possess and experience. As
we continue to receive the truth of knowing
New Zion
Thankful…
we have been chosen by God to be good
stewards of what He, the creator, has
entrusted to us, then thankfulness begins to
take root in our hearts. It’s oftentimes easier
to choose to be thankful when we’re walking in
the “mountain top” seasons of our lives.
However, the true test of choosing to be
thankful is when we are walking through those
challenging “valley” seasons of our lives. It’s
during these times that we see with our
spiritual eyes, hold fast to the hope and
promises of the Lord, and experience His divine
faithfulness. “Choosing to be thankful” enables
us to see the awesome character of God as the
Holy Spirit ushers us into a deeper level of
intimacy with Him. Choosing to be thankful
transforms our lives motivating us to share the
goodness and love of God among ourselves
and with others.
The calendar lets us know that November is the
month to celebrate the holiday of
Thanksgiving. We, as Christians, should know
and live each day with a thankful heart. We
have so much to “choose to be thankful” for!
Our salvation, the most precious gift we will
ever enjoy, is one reason for our choice of
thankfulness. The blood of Jesus Christ shed at
Calvary, His glorious resurrection with all
power, and His intercession for us at the right
hand of our Heavenly Father are, indeed, cause
for thankfulness. The privilege of spending
eternity in the presence of the Lord should
invoke an expression of thankfulness, joy and
praise daily. King David assures us in Psalm
140:13 that, “Surely the righteous shall give
thanks unto Thy name: the upright shall
dwell in Thy presence.” What a wonderful
promise for believers, those who have been
made righteous through Jesus Christ, to
anchor our faith now and in eternity.
And for those of us who have been subtly
snared with life’s busyness, be reminded of
the words of the Apostle Paul, “In everything
give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ
Jesus concerning you.” Finally, one of the
most meaningful things we can do this
Thanksgiving holiday is to share with
someone who has not yet accepted Jesus
Christ as their Lord and Savior your reason
for “choosing to be thankful” and let them
know how, they too, can make the same
choice.
