Thanksgiving, What exactly are we thankful for? Are we thankful for the air we breath, or the food we eat, or the clothes we wear, or the life we live, or..... What all do we tell God we are thankful for and how do we tell Him? The best way to tell God we are thankful is to help someone else. The people in the world who are helping others
are telling us to pay it forward instead of back. God wants us to do the same thing. We will feel better for the help we give someone than the help we receive from someone, or something.
Too much of what we do is focused on ME the world is a very selfish place and we fit right in. Even in the songs we sing, trying to praise God we focus more on what God has done for us than on praising Him. I”LL fly away, Jesus loves ME, Rock of ages cleft for ME, Do we have to focus so much on ourselves? Think of what God has done and praise Him for His creation, His son, and the sacrifice He made, Yes, you may say, but to praise God we must think of what He has done for US! But most of how we praise tends to focus on ME and US rather than He or Him.
Yes Jesus Loves ME, but the real reason to praise Him is the wonderful life He has given us to live, the world He has given us to live in. Instead we pray to God to help US and bless US and do for US, it’s all about me! At least for one day, please think on true praise for Him and not what He can do for you! We should examine ourselves and see if we are truly worshipping God or wanting God to worship US?!?
