Moses had just given God’s Ten Commandments to the people of Israel (see Deuteronomy 5). He then told the people to not only follow God’s commandments, but also to love the one and only God with everything they have…with all of their heart, with all of their soul, and with all of their strength. That’s God’s desire for us as well. In fact, Jesus called this command to love God with all of our heart the “first and greatest” commandment in Matthew 22:37-38. God wants us to love Him with everything we have….our heart, our mind, our soul, our strength…every second of every day.

Doogie - Be Thankful – 1 Chronicles 16:34 (Week 47)

(we received this comment via email)… Another excellent post! And just to carry the historical aspect with regard to our nation one step further, the resolution adopted by Congress actually urged President Washington to declare “a national day of thanksgiving and prayer” (emphasis supplied), but in today’s times we seem to forget that second part. In fact, the very first line of President Washington’s proclamation establishing our nation’s first Thanksgiving states “Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor...” The full text of the proclamation is available at: https://founders.archives.gov/documents/Washington/05-04-02-0091 Our Founding Fathers recognized and gave thanks to God above all first and foremost, and we would be well-served to do the same!
