This week we will gather together with family and celebrate Thanksgiving. We come to this season of the year and think about the first Thanksgiving with Pilgrims and Indians and giving thanks to the Lord for surviving in such a harsh environment. We also think to modern day traditions of turkey and dressing and Black Friday sales with some football mixed in.

It is safe to say that in the hustle and bustle of the week, it is easy to forget to give thanks to the Lord. Today we want to change that. I hope that this whole week, you will be intentional about focusing on giving thanks to the Lord.

We are going to turn this morning to a psalm that we studied in Bible Study this morning. When that happens, we have to realize that God must have wanted us to pay special attention to this one this morning, especially since I had already picked out the passage before I read the Sunday School lesson. 

In fact, if I’m being honest with you, I did what some of you teachers may have done before. I read the wrong lesson and was moving on to the next unit. Thankfully we had Men’s Ministry on Thursday and Mark rode with us to the meeting and referenced the lesson. That was my “Uh, Oh!” moment.

Anyways, turn with me in your Bibles this morning to Psalm 100 and let’s take a look at what the Word says to us.
