We live in a world that constantly bombards us with endless marketing and commercials for Thanksgiving that we almost forget that the word thanksgiving refers to something that is pure, holy and righteous and that is praise unto God for He is worthy. It is also the attitude and mindset that believers in all dispensations are to have before the LORD.
"Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations." Psalm 100:4,5 (KJB)
On this episode of Rightly Dividing, we will be looking at all 28 places in which the word thanksgiving appears in your King James Bible, noting that it is removed 7 times in the NIV, and understanding what the word thanksgiving truly means. The first day of Thanksgiving in America took place in 1621, a day that was set aside not to give thanks to the Indians, but to Almighty God Who was keeping the pilgrims safe and prospering them in the New World. They literally offered thanksgiving unto God, is that how your day is going to go tomorrow when your family gathers around the table? Our apostle Paul has a lot to teach us about the word thanksgiving, and how very important it is to the prayer life of the blood bought Christian. We hope this timely holiday study on the real meaning of thanksgiving will be a blessing to you.
