**Enrich Your Life with Thanksgiving**

America celebrates Thanksgiving this month. But this should not just be an American celebration done once a year, it should be a global celebration done every day. Christ followers and non-Christ followers should live a life of thanksgiving for the gift of life, salvation health, finance, relationship, career, business opportunities, talents, time and so on.

I recall a time in my life when I was not a thankful person. Back then, I was in the league of complainers. I had the spirit of entitlement and nothing was ever good enough. Looking back, I know now that this vile spirit is an abomination to the Lord. I am now a recipient of the promise in *2 Corinthians 5:17 “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come. The old has gone, the new is here”!*

My friends, why is it important for us to live a life of thanksgiving?

- **Because it pleases God** – He expects us to thank Him and show gratitude for everything that happens in our lives – good or bad because He often uses the difficult situations in our lives to strengthen our faith and encourage people around us ([**Romans 8:28**](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans+8%3A28&version=NIV&ref=dd.malinoix.com)) and we are to continually show appreciation for all things and be anxious for nothing **(**[**Philippians 4:6**](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Phillipians+4%3A6&version=NIV&ref=dd.malinoix.com)).

- **It helps us receive immediate response from God through prayer** – the story of King Solomon comes to mind – he was so generous in his thanksgiving to God, and God responded to Solomon by giving him even the things he did not ask for – Imagine receiving a blank check to write the amount you want on it – how cool that is! ([**2 Chronicles 1:7-12**](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2+Chronicles+1%3A7-12&version=NIV&ref=dd.malinoix.com)).

- **We acknowledge that God owns everything** – our life, money, possessions, talents and time. We are only managers of God’s resources ([**Psalm 24:1**](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm+24%3A1&version=NIV&ref=dd.malinoix.com))

Christ follower, daily enrich your life with thanksgivings and give God the glory and honor that is rightly His. If you are currently not a Christ follower, the first step is to accept Him as your Lord and Savior and He will bless you with a thankful heart.

All glory to God!
