We find it easiest to memorize this verse and last week’s verse (2 Timothy 3:16) together. Last week 2 Timothy 3:16 taught us that the Bible we read and study is inspired by God Himself, and that we should use His Scriptures to teach one another about God, to condemn what is wrong (sin), to correct each other and to train ourselves to do what’s right in God’s eyes. Why should we do this? 2 Timothy 3:17 tells us: so that we can be “thoroughly equipped” for every good work. Just like a soldier makes sure he’s properly equipped—helmet, armor, weapons, radios—before he goes into battle, we need to equip ourselves with God’s Word so that we’re ready to do good works for God’s glory.

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!
