From the director:
“Come let us sing to the Lord; let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation. Let us come before Him with thanksgiving and extol Him with music and song.”Psalm 95:1-2
Come before Him with thanksgiving. Many will be doing this on the day designated by our government as national Thanksgiving day. Family and friends will gather around a table and thank God for His many rich gifts. A small percentage of our population will gather in churches to extol Him with music and song. For some, this will be one of the few times they enter a church building. What’s the motivation? For many, it’s because it’s the thing to do on Thanksgiving Day.
But the motivation of Christians comes from the knowledge of all that God has done for us. He created us. He created a world that offers us an abundance of material gifts. He cares for us. He even knows the number of hairs on our head. His angels watch over us. He has charge of the entire universe. (see Psalm 95:3-4)
He redeemed us. Even though we are sinners, unworthy to approach our great God, we are at the same time saints, perfect in His sight. We are saints because He loved us enough to send His only Son to live the perfect life in our stead, to suffer and die for the sins of all people and to rise again proclaiming victory over sin and death. Now we belong to Him.
Now our whole life is one of thanksgiving. Through Christ, our every act is an act of worship. “Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer yourselves as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship” (Romans 12:1). As you live each day, doing many little tasks, cleaning a scraped knee, wiping the tears of a crying child, cleaning the bathroom, driving countless hours, reading a story or rubbing a back at bedtime, keep in mind that all of it is part of your act of worship and thanksgiving to our great and wonderful God.
