Happy Thanksgiving!

November 27 Happy Thanksgiving!
1 Chronicles 29:10-16

Therefore David blessed the LORD before all the assembly; and David said:
“Blessed are You, LORD God of Israel, our Father, forever and ever. Yours, O LORD, is the greatness,
The power and the glory,
The victory and the majesty;
For all that is in heaven and in earth is Yours;
Yours is the kingdom, O LORD,
And You are exalted as head over all.
Both riches and honor come from You,
And You reign over all.
In Your hand is power and might;
In Your hand it is to make great
And to give strength to all.
Now therefore, our God,
We thank You
And praise Your glorious name.
But who am I, and who are my people,
That we should be able to offer so willingly as this?
For all things come from You,
And of Your own we have given You.
For we are aliens and pilgrims before You,
As were all our fathers;
Our days on earth are as a shadow,
And without hope.
O LORD our God, all this abundance that we have prepared to build You a house for Your holy name is from Your hand, and is all Your own.”

Spurgeon paraphrased these thoughts by saying, “There is no adorning Him but with His own gold.”
May we willingly lay Christ’s gold at His feet so we may partner with Him in the work He’s doing on earth. There is no other investment of our time or our energy or the resources He’s entrusted to us that will transcend time to be invested in eternity.

May we thank Him with hearts of praise and adoration on this day that is set aside to acknowledge His blessings, but may we not neglect to lift His name in thanksgiving every day that He gives us breath.
