As Thanksgiving Day approaches many are pondering all they are grateful and thankful for. Both Thanksgiving and thankful hashtags will be attached to millions of images for the social media to peruse. But there is one image I pray is at the forefront of many of our minds as we approach Thanksgiving: Christ, the Savior of the world, dying for you and me, creating a way. A way for us to not only lay hold of the promise of Heaven after our earthly journey is over, but a way for us to usher in God’s Kingdom here on earth.

Because of Jesus Christ’s sacrifice, we certainly can proclaim the greatness of the Lord and let the WHOLE WORLD know what He has done! In fact, be challenged to take a moment today and reflect on ALL the Lord has done in your life. Once you’ve spent a few minutes there, take a few more minutes to ponder how what He has done in YOUR life had a positive impact on the lives of those around you.

Then, share with others and live 1 Chronicles 16:8 out, letting your whole world know what He has done. Finally, go to the Lord with praises and prayer. Seeking nothing other than to let Him know how thankful you are for all He is done, all He is doing, and all He will do – with an alert mind and a thankful heart!

And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. John 8:32 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/jhn.8.32.KJV

And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him. And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer: For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God. And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves: For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come. And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you. Luke 22:14‭-‬20 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/luk.22.14-20.KJV
