Applications:  

  1. Thankfulness is a mark of a Christian. Too often, we complain about our circumstances instead of focusing our attention on the character and works of our God.

  2. Each Lord’s Day we are afforded fifty-two “Thanksgiving Days.” The Lord’s Day is the day God has set apart alone for the gathering of God’s people to praise, worship, and thank him for who he is and what he has done. We thank him in song, and we thank him at the Lord’s Table. We review the historical acts of God each Lord’s Day and respond in praise and thanksgiving to Him.

  3. God’s people are to live thankful lives.
