Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. It comes and goes all too quickly, but this year was as special as I had hoped it to be with several of my family members gathered with me. It takes a lot of work to prepare that bird and all the things that go with it. But we want everything to be perfect and for our family to enjoy what we have prepared. We love to hear, “Mmmm, that smells so good; Mmmm this is delicious!”
Do we long to hear God’s approval in a similar way? Do we prepare our hearts daily to worship Him and bring Him glory? Do you think He’s saying, “You did good today! I am very satisfied.” Keep the illustrated verse in mind each day (Col. 3:17) and let the words of “Blessed Assurance” flow from your lips and heart: “This is my story, this is my song, Praising my Savior all the day long; This is my story, this is my song, Praising my Savior all the day long.”
