Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving, rooted in Old Testament harvest festivals, is meant to focus on God’s enduring mercy, not just His blessings. Psalm 136 repeats, “for his mercy endureth forever,” reminding us that gratitude should center on His mercy, not what we’ve received lately. Today, we often feel entitled to blessings and overlook mercy. But Scripture links mercy to truth, righteousness, and peace. In times of trouble, Thanksgiving calls us to shift our focus from problems to God’s steadfast mercy.
