Everything we enjoy, should be viewed as coming from the gracious and liberal hand of our sovereign God. All was forfeited by our sin. All that we receive is by His grace. The providence that supplies us is the wisdom, benevolence, and power of God in operation for us as expressive of His infinite love and unmerited grace!
Our talents to provide supplies, our opportunities to obtain them, and our abilities to enjoy them, are alike from the Lord. Every mercy increases our obligation and deepens our debt to free grace!
Thanksgiving is never out of season, for we have always much to be grateful for. We must view all things as arranged by His wisdom, dependent on His will, sanctified by His blessing, according with His promises, and flowing from His love!
[James Smith]
1 Thessalonians 5:18 ... In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.❤
