Give Thanks

An old friend of mine, Don Moen, penned these lyrics to a song once popular in the church and I have been singing this song in my head for a couple of days:

Give thanks with a grateful heart
Give thanks unto the Holy One
Give thanks because He's given Jesus Christ, His Son

And now let the weak say, 'I am strong'
Let the poor say, 'I am rich
Because of what the Lord has done for us'

Give thanks

This song is really meaningful on a day like today. It says now let the weak say I am strong. Why? Because of what the Lord has done. Let the poor say "I am rich" why? Because of what the Lord has done. To me, Moen is reminding us that in Christ no matter what our station, we are rich because we have Jesus and his mercy and grace. He's saying with the Apostle Paul that His strength is made perfect in weakness so that when we are weak then He can be strong in our lives.

I think this day and through the holiday season, this is going to be the song that I call back to memory. I know it's not scripture, but it certainly agrees with the Word. Let's be truly thankful for what the Lord has done for us.

Give Thanks!!!

Until later,

Don
