Good Morning …! Praise
The Lord …!
Today’s meditation is
taken from 1 Thessalonians 5:18 “Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in
Christ Jesus”
The young man was
feeling very proud of himself. As a brand new college graduate he had taken the
C.A Exams and passed with flying colors. Now he was a full-fledged Certified
Public Accountant.
His father had been an
immigrant to the U.S., and now owned his own little business. Filled with
self-importance, the young man began to criticize his father’s way of keeping
books. He said, “Dad, you don’t even
know how much profit you’ve made. Over here in this drawer is your accounts
receivable. Over there are your receipts and you keeping all your money in the
cash register. You don’t have any idea how much money you’ve made.”
The father answered, “Son, when I came to this country the only
thing I owned was a pair of pants. Now, your brother is a doctor, your sister
is an art teacher, and you are a C.A. Your mother and I own our home. We have
a car and we own this little business. Now add that up, subtract the pants and
all the rest is profit.”
ADD IT UP! That’s exactly what we need to do at
Thanksgiving. Add it all up. We came into this world with nothing but the life
which we are living and eternal soul that God gave us. Everything is profit.
Many times we don’t
give thanks to God for all the things in our lives; we are too much busy with
asking something from God rather than thanking what we have.
Sometimes the
circumstances of our lives are not always the best. In fact, they may be bad,
but still, we are to look for something to be thankful for! And there is ALWAYS
something positive for which we can be thankful!
As Apostle Paul said "In everything give thanks for this is God's
will for you in Christ Jesus.” Paul simply says very directly, "In
everything give thanks.” No exceptions,
no excuses, in everything give thanks. In connection with everything in life
give thanks, no matter what it might be.
Let’s take time to thank
God for your life and your circumstances … Amen!
GOD BLESS YOU
