The Everyday Sabbath

Thank God for: the food we eat.

Psalm 65:9–11

You care for the land and water it; —you enrich it abundantly.

The streams of God are filled with water — to provide the people with grain, for so you have ordained it.

You drench its furrows and level its ridges; — you soften it with showers and bless its crops.

You crown the year with your bounty, — and your carts overflow with abundance.

Dinner rolls, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, and a turkey. The table is covered in food on Thanksgiving.

None of it is there by accident.

Before the busy kitchen or the farmer's work, God was working:

Through rain and sunlight he provides crops and food.

That's something to thank God for every day.

What blessings do you treat as automatic instead of gifts from God? How can you remember God's hand is there?

This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. Read the context Paul encouraged believers to pray for a government that persecuted them. Why? Because God uses even what appears bad for good —...
