The Word of God for wisdom:
Proverbs 28:11 (HCSB)
11 A rich man is wise in his own eyes, but a poor man who has discernment sees through him.
The Word of God for inspiration:
Psalm 106:1 (HCSB)
1 Hallelujah! Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; His faithful love endures forever.
The Word of God for encouragement:
1 Peter 1:3-9 (HCSB)
3 Praise the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. According to His great mercy, He has given us a new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead
4 and into an inheritance that is imperishable, uncorrupted, and unfading, kept in heaven for you.
5 You are being protected by God's power through faith for a salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time.
6 You rejoice in this, though now for a short time you have had to struggle in various trials
7 so that the genuineness of your faith—more valuable than gold, which perishes though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
8 You love Him, though you have not seen Him. And though not seeing Him now, you believe in Him and rejoice with inexpressible and glorious joy,
9 because you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
My observation:
On this Thanksgiving Day I am most thankful for the new birth and the living hope that I have because of what God has done for me through his only begotten son, our Lord Jesus Christ. Everything is a gift from God, for which I am thankful.
I have learned over the course of my life that everything belongs to God, and that everything I am and have is a gift from God.
James 1:17 (HCSB)
17 Every generous act and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights; with Him there is no variation or shadow cast by turning.
So, today, I give thanks to God for all of his blessings.
1 Thessalonians 5:18 (HCSB)
18 Give thanks in everything, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
My prayer:
Our Father in heaven, my dear Father, I delight to associate myself with believers of every age who believe in Jesus.
Father God, like the Christ followers of the first century, I rejoice with inexpressible and glorious joy because of the gift of salvation. Lord, thank you for blessing me every day. In Jesus name, Amen.

Isaiah 55:11 (HCSB)
11 so My word that comes from My mouth will not return to Me empty, but it will accomplish what I please and will prosper in what I send it ⌊to do⌋."
