Thanksgiving is an appreciation and recognition for what God has done in your life. It is a vital seed that has a lasting reward. God has done so much for you this year. He never leaves nor forsake you. He has been with you in all situation and circumstances, He is still with you and will continue to be with you performing wonders in your life. He led you beside the still waters. He kept you by His power. He blessed you with life, resources, peace, joy, ideas, innovation, health, strength and all the good things you experienced this year. When the going was tough for you, His Spirit comforted you and enable you to overcome. He prevented enemies’ weapon directed toward you from touching you. He prepared a table of blessing before you. He made you to overcome the storms and winds that came to your direction.  You might say, I did not achieve much this year, it’s not true, God preserved you and you are still alive. God has not finished with you yet.  Your brain is functioning well, your eyes could see, your ears can hear, you’re breathing well, your body parts are functioning properly. God has been good to you. It’s time to appreciate His loving kindness and tender mercies to you and your loved ones. A rich and great person is a person that have cultivated an attitude of thankfulness. We are not thanking God because we did not have troubles but we are thanking God for His intervention in our troubles. Thanksgiving is an expression of gratitude and appreciation. It is a day set aside for giving thanks and for public celebration in acknowledgement of God’s divine kindness and His mighty acts. Thanksgiving is not what we do one time, it should be a natural thing and a way of life. It guarantees the continuous flow of unending blessing and God’s intervention. We should do it from the heart of gratitude. It is an aroma that attracts God’s attention.  It is one of the crucial factors in the school of triumph. Thanksgiving is what God requires from you. Give thanks for He has done marvelous things.
