“Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.” (Ephesians 5:20)
To give thanks always, as our text says, is to be thankful at least once a day and even more often as we remember the numerous blessings God gives us each day. While it is good fur us to have a day in the year set aside for expressing it, “Thanks” should not be reserved for a special day once a year only.
As I read the context of this verse I see that giving thanks results from being filled with, or controlled by, the Holy Spirit. It goes along with singing and making melody in our hearts, also resulting from the filling of the Holy Spirit.
Let us each vow today to give thanks to God at least once every day from now until Thanksgiving Day, 2016.
