Whenever I think of a thanksgiving scripture, these words from the book of Chronicles stood out.
As I reflected on what to share today, I began to wonder—how many of us have paused to give thanks to the Lord today? How many of us have truly given thanks for where we are right now?
You may not be where you want to be, but you are certainly not where you used to be.
When you look at the life of King David, you will see a man who constantly faced opposition—from his father’s house to his own family. His life was marked by challenges and battles. Yet, this same David would boldly declare: “Oh give thanks to the Lord, for He is good, and His mercies endure forever.”
Beloved, understand this: being alive is a testimony.
The Bible says, “Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all.” God has kept you. That alone is reason enough to give thanks.
You may not have received everything you desire, but God is not done with you yet.
Perhaps you feel like you are in a valley—like the valley of dry bones—but even there, God is present. And today, He is calling you to give thanks.
He says, “Come into His presence with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise.”
Do not measure your life by the standards of others. Your true measure is your ability to bring God’s Kingdom here on earth and to live a life that reflects Jesus.
So today, give thanks—not just for what you have, but for who God is, and for what He is still doing in your life.
Stay Revived!
