God has two dwellings; one in heaven, and the other in meek and thankful hearts. -Walton
1 Thessalonians 5:18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
In Romans 1, we see the progression of a weak Christ-less mind going the way of sin. Verse 21 says, “Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.” When you have been blessed to know God, whether it be by surmountable witnesses, occasional exposures, or by the creation that God Himself formed, there is an expectation of a response on your behalf. If you chose not to give God the glory for who He is or what He has done, God’s Word says, “For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:” Romans 1:26
This Thanksgiving, take a moment and consider all the Lord has done for you. If you can’t think of anything, just look to the Cross and be thankful!
