November 22 - The Cause Of Thanksgiving.

2 Corinthians 9:11
“Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God.”
 
If we take time to pause and reflect on just how good God has been to us, it is overwhelmingly evident just how blessed we are.
 
The hymn “Count Your Blessings” comes to mind. 
 
Despite any circumstance we may be struggling through or dealing with at the moment, none of that can change the fact that God is Good, and He has blessed us abundantly.
 
Have you ever considered what it is that enriches your life?
Yes, it is God. But consider for a moment how He enriches us “in every thing to all bountifulness”…the answer lies a few verses above our verse today.
 
2 Corinthians 9:8
“And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:”
 
Everything we have is because of His grace.
His grace abounds towards us and is always sufficient for our every need.
 
2 Corinthians 12:9
“And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.”
 
When we think about His grace towards us, does it not cause your heart to be overwhelmed with thanksgiving to Him?
 
Psalm 84:11
“For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.”
 
Thank Him today for how He has enriched your life by His grace.
