A REMINDER OF HIS CARE

“But God led the people about, through the way of the wilderness of the Red sea: and the children of Israel went up harnessed out of the land of Egypt. And the Lord went before them by day in pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night: He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, from before the people.”

Exodus 13: 18, 21, 22 King James Version

Thanksgiving will be here in a couple of weeks and we will be gathering together to celebrate the day. When we sit down to eat, let us not forget to give thanks to Jesus for His daily care. He went before the people in a pillar of the cloud by day and in the pillar of fire by night to lead them. No matter what time of the day, He was with them leading and protecting them.

We have daily reminders of His love and protection for us. All we have to do is open our eyes and look around. Yes, Jesus protects us and provides for us every day. I am reminded of His provision for me every morning when I brush my teeth. I have had a full set of false teeth for many years due to an infection that invaded my body. I am so grateful for the false teeth because I no longer have toothaches.

While Thanksgiving is the day that we officially set apart for thanks, every day should be a day of thanksgiving for us. If we have invited the Christ of Calvary into our hearts, then we have a Saviour to be thankful for every day. All of us can find something for which to be thankful no matter what trials and heartaches we are enduring. If we can’t find anything else to be thankful for, we can be thankful that one day our precious Saviour allowed Himself to be crucified for our sins so that we can be saved and be with Him for all eternity.
