“Because that, when they knew God, they glorified Him not as God, neither were thankful…” (Romans 1:21)
From the very beginning of mankind on earth thanklessness has been one of the many sins of which man is guilty. As I read descriptions of mankind in His last days on earth, I discover that mankind will still be unthankful. “For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers disobedient to parents, UNTHANKFUL, unholy, without natural affection…”(II Timothy 3:2-3)
Presidents of the U.S. have made bold attempts to get us to express “thanks” to our maker by declaring days and times of Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving must be an “attitude of gratitude” from the heart. Declaring a day does not necessarily mean we are thankful.
During this Thanksgiving season let us be thankful unto God our maker and sustainer for all the many benefits bestowed on us individually and nationally.
