“And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back...and fell down at His feet giving Him thanks...and Jesus answering said, were there not ten cleansed? But where are the nine? (Luke 17: 15, 16, 17)
Ten leprous men begged Jesus to have mercy on them and heal them. Sure enough, He healed them. When one of the ten turned back and gave Him thanks, Jesus asked the question, “Where are the other nine?”
During this November Thanksgiving season when we are so blessed with God’s provision which He has so abundantly lavished on us, let us remember to be thankful. Will this be the year we profoundly thank Him for His goodness to us for the blessings of life, friends, the privilege of living in America with her freedoms, for food on our tables, clothes in our closets and a roof over our heads? Or, will this be another of those thankless seasons when we wonder why we don’t have more?
Don’t wait until Thanksgiving to be thankful.
