Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving to you!
If, for whatever reason, you're having trouble today trying to think of things to be thankful for, then please read the words found in Isaiah 53:5 (TNIV), "But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed."
U2 sang about the same theme in "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" with lyrics such as: "You broke the bones and you loosed the chains, carried the cross of my shame."
Too frequently it's easy for us to become so self-absorbed and so self-obsessed that we fail to recognize God's grace, mercy, love, and provision in our lives. If that's where you find yourself on this Thanksgiving Day, then re-read the words of Isaiah 53:5, and focus on the price that Jesus Christ the Messiah paid for you and me.
By his wounds we are healed. He carried the cross of our shame. It's the greatest thing that we can be thankful for on this day to give thanks.
