Biblical Things to Be Thankful For
Thanksgiving is a wonderful time to reflect on the blessings in our lives. For Christians, some of the greatest blessings come straight from God’s Word. The Bible is filled with reminders of what we should be thankful for—not just once a year, but every single day.
1. God’s Creation - The beauty of the world around us points to God’s creativity and care. From the vastness of the heavens to the smallest detail of a flower, creation reminds us of God’s power and love. Psalm 19:1 says, “The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.”
2. God’s Promises - Throughout Scripture, God makes promises to His people—and He always keeps them. From His covenant with Abraham to His promise to never leave us or forsake us, God’s faithfulness gives us reason to trust and hope.
3. God’s Guidance - The Bible is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path (Psalm 119:105). In a world full of uncertainty, God’s Word gives direction, clarity, and wisdom to navigate life’s challenges.
4. God’s Love - At the core of everything is God’s love for us. His love is unchanging, unconditional, and everlasting. Romans 5:8 reminds us, “But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
5. Jesus and His Sacrifice - Of all the blessings we have, the greatest is Jesus. His sacrifice on the cross changed everything, giving us hope, forgiveness, and the promise of eternal life. Because of Him, we can approach God with confidence, knowing we are loved and redeemed.
As we gather with friends and family to celebrate Thanksgiving, let’s take time to thank God for these incredible blessings. Most of all, let’s thank Him for Jesus, who gave everything so that we could have life and hope.
