1. Day to Remember God’s Goodness.

Thanksgiving is a day to remember God’s goodness in every area of your life, it’s a day to remember He’s never failed, He’s never faltered, or He’s never forsaken you. Christ says in Matthew 10:29-31, “Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.”

2. Day to Remember God’s Grace.

Thanksgiving is not only a day to remember God’s goodness, it’s a day to remember God’s grace, He’s helped you through every storm, He’s helped you through every sorrow, and He’s helped you through every adverse situation in life. Stop listening to Satan whose always telling you, you’ll never make it, remember Genesis 18:4, “Is there anything too hard for the Lord?”, “O give thanks unto the God of gods: for his mercy endureth for ever.” (Psalm 136:2)

3. Day to Remember God’s Guidance.

Thanksgiving is not only a day to remember God’s grace and goodness, it’s a day to remember God’s guidance in every difficulty, disappointment, and decision you’ve made in life. Proverbs 3:5-6 says, “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thine ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.”

“O give thanks unto the Lord.” (Psalm 136:1)
