1 | Thanksgiving Unto our Lord 2016 | Ps 50:23 | DocTrinsograce | 243955 | ||
The past few days, and the current holiday, have caused me to think back upon those things for which I am grateful to our God in His eternal providence. I am grateful for family, and God's work in their lives. I am grateful for a Proverbs 31 wife, who consistently manifests all of the fruit of the Spirit. I am grateful for a church who holds firmly to the truth, all that God has revealed (Deuteronomy 29:29). I am grateful that they do not try to revise history so as to cause themselves and the Reformers to look more fully Scriptural and more righteous than they were. I am grateful to a Saviour who affirmed the importance of truth and only truth. I am grateful that I have been received amidst a group of scholars who will not bend history to fit their doctrine, but rather recognize that our doctrine doesn't need such bolstering. I am grateful for the Reformers, who sought the truth of God even though it often resulted in the loss of their lives. I am grateful for the technology that allows us to verify church history. Above all else, I am grateful for God's wondrous work of salvation, that -- through absolutely no merit of my own -- saved a wretch like me. Have a blessed and happy Thanksgiving to one and all. The First Thanksgiving Proclamation (06/20/1675): "The Holy God having by a long and Continual Series of his Afflictive dispensations in and by the present War with the Heathen Natives of this land, written and brought to pass bitter things against his own Covenant people in this wilderness, yet so that we evidently discern that in the midst of his judgments he hath remembered mercy, having remembered his Footstool in the day of his sore displeasure against us for our sins, with many singular Intimations of his Fatherly Compassion, and regard; reserving many of our Towns from Desolation Threatened, and attempted by the Enemy, and giving us especially of late with many of our Confederates many signal Advantages against them, without such Disadvantage to ourselves as formerly we have been sensible of, if it be the Lord’s mercy that we are not consumed, It certainly bespeaks our positive Thankfulness, when our Enemies are in any measure disappointed or destroyed; and fearing the Lord should take notice under so many Intimations of his returning mercy, we should be found an Insensible people, as not standing before Him with thanksgiving, as well as lading him with our Complaints in the time of pressing Afflictions.†|
