Genesis 24:1-67; Job 29:1-30:31; Matthew 13:1-23
Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. Colossians 2:7
“Abounding” means overflowing. We cannot thank the Lord too much. A thankful heart will strengthen our faith as we thank Him for answered prayer. Reflecting upon the innumerable blessings He has showered upon us, our grateful remembrances apply a healing balm to life’s disappointments. In all circumstances, let our cup of thanksgiving fill and overflow to Him. He is worthy and will delight to hear our appreciation. —George T. Ferrier
With thankful hearts, O Lord, we come,
To praise Thy name in grateful song;
Accept the offering, Lord, we bring,
And help us loud Thy praises sing. —J. S. Mohler
