With Thanksgiving day just around the corner, we would be remiss if we did not recognize the One from whom all blessings flow. It is the Lord who has blessed us with riches untold. No matter what our financial status is, no matter what physical ailments we are suffering, no matter what sort of difficulties we might be experiencing, we can take comfort in knowing that "all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose." (Rom 8:28) The Psalmist understood God's control over His creation and His unending goodness. Even in times of misfortune we ought to give thanks to God for our ephemeral struggles because they pale in comparison to what Jesus did on the cross for us and to what He continues to do each day for His people. With that said, we should give thanks to the one true God who continues to bless us:  

"Shout joyfully to the LORD, all the earth.
Serve the LORD with gladness;
Come before Him with joyful singing.
Know that the LORD Himself is God;
It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves;
We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.
Enter His gates with thanksgiving
And His courts with praise
Give thanks to Him, bless His name.
For the LORD is good;
His lovingkindness is everlasting
And His faithfulness to all generations."

Psalm 100
