GIVE THANKS!​

2 Corinthians 9:15 – Devotional

2 Corinthians 9:15

“Give thanks to the Lord for His indescribable gift!”

As a boy I was taught to always give the Lord thanks before each meal. That practice continued into adulthood. I have never gone out of my way to bring undue attention to my prayer, but others have noticed.

While serving in the US Air Force in St. Anthony, Newfoundland, my practice was noticed by my Commanding Officer. Rather than being rebuked, he requested that I give thanks aloud before each meal.

True thankfulness is more than mere words. It is the sincere attitude of the heart. A drink of water for a dry throat is of more value than gold or silver which can never satisfy that thirst.

We live in a world that is more and more in need of the gift of God. We need to be ready to respond to the spiritual thirst of someone near you. Eternity is near and we may be that last hope of a perishing soul.

Our sincere thankfulness to the Lord may be the light that beams hope and life to someone near us. In giving thanks to the Lord, always be prepared to share the bread of eternal life with anyone who asks!

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
