Don't Be Deceived this Thanksgiving! – Thanksgiving – November 26, 2025
from Shepherd of the Hills - Winchester VA · host Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church
James 1:16-18Thanksgiving invites us to take a break from the fast pace of everyday life and look with fresh eyes at the gifts that surround us. However, even on a holiday focused on gratitude, our hearts can drift toward confusion about where our blessings come from, what they mean, and what they’re for. James warns us: “Do not be deceived!” God wants more for us than vague feelings of thankfulness. He wants to clear our vision so that we can see the true source of every good gift, trust in the character of the Giver, and find peace and rest in the greatest gift of all.
