What the Bible Says About Giving Thanks

Thanks for joining us today. We begin our Thanksgiving-themed Bible study with a memorable quote from my deceased sister, Andrea: "I love Thanksgiving because all you have to do is show up and eat." Yes, true, but now her baby sister will embellish: "I love Thanksgiving to God because all you have to do is show up, love your family, be grateful for the feast He provides and the blessings He has bestowed upon those gathered today." Much better. Given this is a Thanksgiving week and giving thanks to God was, and still is, the real purpose of the holiday, let's examine what Scripture says about thanking God.
