Whereas the duty of
all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to
be grateful for His benefits ,and humbly implore His protection ,aid and favors…
Now therefore ,I do
recommend and assign the 26th of November next, to be devoted by the
people of these states to the service of
that Great and Glorious Being.Who is the beneficent Author of all the good that
was ,that is ,or that will be that we may then all united in rendering unto Him
our sincere and humble thanks for His kind care and protection of the people of
this country , and for all the great and various favors which He has been
pleased of confer upon us.
Our founding fathers
openly recognized God. They were aware of our need for God if we were to be a
healthy nation .George Washington said: ‘’ It is impossible to rightly govern
the world without God and the Bible.’’ They know that if the nation was going
to work its people needed to voluntarily live by God’s rules.
Times have changed
.We may be the only culture in the world that openly acknowledges God in our
constitution,on our money , and on Thanks giving, but refused to allow God to be
named in any of our public institutions. As a nation we are working hard to
push God out of our lives.
Ignoring God isn’t unusual.The history of the world is a story of people turning away from
God.Amazing,God hasn’t turned away from us yet.But if we do not repent,He will.
Government can not
turn us back to God. Turn back to God requires a change of heart.When get out
hearts fixed,our priorities lineup, and things work better.
You can get this
change of hearts by giving up your old life and turning to God. He sent His Son
Jesus to close this huge gulf between us and God.So when we turn to God in the
name of Jesus, we are acceptable as if we never sinned-the Bible calls it being
clothed with Jesus’ clothes in front of God. In the name of Jesus you can
belong to God and busy yourself in His world. In the name of Jesus you can once
again belong to others. When you belong to others, your life won’t be sucked
dry –you’ll be like a mountain spring fuller and fresher than you ever
imagined.That’s because you keep turning God to fill you up,and He has all the
resources in the universe at His command. It’s like being wealthier than you
could ever imagine.
So I hope you will
turn your face towards God this Thanks giving.Do more than Thank Him for good
thanks giving will become a year-round event in your life.
‘’ Blessed is the
nation whose God is the Lord: Behold the eye of the Lord is upon them that fear
Him, upon them hope in His mercy’’ , Psalm 33: 12,18.
‘’Righteousness exalts
a nation, but sin is a disgrace to any people.’’Proverb 14:34.
‘’ For God so loved
the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him
should not perish, but have everlasting life.’’ John 3:16.
‘’ He that believeth
on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not
see life: but the wrath of God abideth on him’’ John 3:36.
‘’ Whosoever shall
call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved .’’ Romans 10:13
Thanks Giving Prayer
Dear God :Thank you
for the wonderful gifts you have poured out on our nation.In the name of Jesus,who
died for my sins,forgive me and forgive our nation for enjoying your gifts
while trying to live without you. I repent of how I have been living and
gratefully give my heart to you today. Help others in our nation to turn to you
.Amen!
