Thanksgiving Table Cards
Closing Devotional: Read Psalm 100Sometimes the things we say do not resonate with joy. The pace of life can drain us of our thankfulness. Urgent needs call for attention and distract us from time spent at God’s feet. Rather than count our blessings, we focus on our fears and forget that the Lord is still God. But we have a choice each day. Each day can be a day of thanksgiving. Will we focus on our circumstances, or on our faithful God? The psalmist can rejoice and worship the Lord with gladness because he knows these important truths: the Lord is God and we are his. God has made us and called us to be his very own. He has redeemed us through the death and resurrection of his Son to draw us close to him. God is not only great, he is also good and faithful. We can celebrate with the psalmist that the Lord is good and his love endures forever and his faithfulness continues to all generations.
Prayer: Lord, make us people who recognize that you are God and that we are yours. Thank you for your enduring love and faithfulness. We give thanks to you and bless your name. Amen!
