Hugh's News & Commentary

As we approach Thankgiving Day on Thursday, November 25, 2010, it seems to me that everyday we live should be a day of Thanksgiving.

For those of us who have been blessed to be born in the United States, or who are immigrants and naturalized citizens, we have so much to be thankful for. We live in the greatest country in all of the world.

Let us thank God for the many freedoms we have including the freedom of speech and the freedom of religion.

Here is a Thanksgiving Scripture that you may not have considered before. I hope you will read it, and meditate upon it, and see what possibilities you can find for yourself.

Colossians 1:16-23, NIV:

16 For by Him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by Him and for Him. 17 He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. 18 And He is the Head of the body, the church; He is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything He might have the supremacy. 19 For God was pleased to have all His fullness dwell in Him, 20 and through Him to reconcile to Himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through His blood, shed on the cross.

21 Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of your evil behavior. 22 But now He has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy in His sight, without blemish and free from accusation— 23 if you continue in your faith, established and firm, not moved from the hope held out in the Gospel. This is the Gospel that you heard and that has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, have become a servant.

I trust that you and your family will read this Scripture sometime during the day on Thursday, Thanksgiving Day. Just prior to your dinner meal would be a good thing to do. There is power in reading and hearing of the Word of God. We know that faith comes by the hearing of the Word.
