DAILY?READINGS: 1 Chronicles 29; Ezekiel 26; John 9:18-41
Neither were [they] thankful. Romans 1:21
An absence of thankfulness contributed to humanity’s history of degeneration. Why? Because a loss of thankfulness means a loss of focus. Our vision shifts from gratefulness to God to congratulating ourselves. After that it is only a brief journey before self is placed on the throne that God alone should occupy. Then we are free to do whatever is right in our own eyes. In many nations, today is a day of remembrance and thankfulness for those who gave their lives for freedom. Sadly many will rush on and pay little heed. May we truly be grateful, not only for our freedom and its cost, but for every good and perfect gift that comes from our Father of lights. —S. McEachern
Give thanks to God the Lord; upon His Name now call.
Make known among the people on earth, what He has done for all.
