Thanksgiving Scripture - Nov 15

Annual Bible Reading Plan:
Ps. 108
Ezk.40-41
Eph. 3

2025 Thanksgiving Month
Day 15

Deuteronomy 32:9-12
9 For the Lord's portion is his people; Jacob is the allotment of his inheritance. 10 He found him in a desert land, and in the howling waste of the wilderness; he encircled him, he cared for him, he kept him as the apple of his eye. 11 Like an eagle that stirs up its nest, that flutters over its young, spreading out its wings, catching them, bearing them on its pinions, 12 so the Lord alone led him, and there was no foreign god with him.

Reflection:
The Lord is our inheritance, and we are the Lord’s inheritance—what an honor and precious blessing! Because of this love and grace, even when we experience the trials of the wilderness or the terror of roaring beasts, we need not fear. He loves us, surrounds us, watches over us, and protects us as the apple of His eye. He also trains us to grow through adversity and to soar through storms.

Thanksgiving Scripture - Nov 14

Annual Bible Reading Plan:
Ps. 107
Ezk.38-39
Eph. 2

2025 Thanksgiving Month
Day 14

Psalm 103:2-5
2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits,
3 who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases,
4 who redeems your life from the pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,
5 who satisfies you with good so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.

Reflection:
God’s blessings are endless. His forgiveness, healing, salvation, provision, and renewal are all expressions of His love and gifts. We must not neglect His blessings simply because they are in the past, because we have received them, or because we are busy. Nor should we shift our reliance from God to ourselves, falling into temptation. From our personal lives to our families, from fellowships to the church, we should together recount all the blessings the Lord has given. Counting them with intention is both an act of gratitude and an act of worship.

2 Thessalonians 2:13-17
1 Finally, brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may speed ahead and be honored, as happened among you, 2 and that we may be delivered from wicked and evil men. For not all have faith. 3 But the Lord is faithful. He will establish you and guard you against the evil one. 4 And we have confidence in the Lord about you, that you are doing and will do the things that we command. 5 May the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God and to the steadfastness of Christ.

Reflection:
Pray for God’s deliverance from wicked and evil men, and from the schemes of the evil one. We all face the reality and danger of evil working against us, but we have confidence in the Lord’s faithfulness to us. Ask that God would direct your heart to His unfailing love and steadfast nature.

Day 12

2 Thessalonians 2:13-17
13 But we ought always to give thanks to God for you, brothers beloved by the Lord, because God chose you as the firstfruits to be saved, through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth. 14 To this he called you through our gospel, so that you may obtain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 15 So then, brothers, stand firm and hold to the traditions that you were taught by us, either by our spoken word or by our letter. 16 Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace, 17 comfort your hearts and establish them in every good work and word.

Reflection:
Just as Paul gave thanks for the church in Thessalonica, we also should give thanks that God choose us as the fruitfruits to be saved. We are saved through the gospel, sanctified by the Spirit and by belief in the truth, with the goal that we may obtain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ! To remain faithful to the gospel we have been called to, we must stand firm and hold to the traditions that have been taught to us. May our Lord Jesus Christ and God our Father comfort and bless you today in all you do and say!

Thanksgiving Scripture - Nov 11

Annual Bible Reading Plan:
Ps. 104
Ezk.34-35
Gal 5

2025 Thanksgiving Month
Day 11

Ephesians 1:3-7
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, 4 even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. 5 In love he predestined us for adoption to himself as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, 6 to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved. 7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace.

Reflection:
Let us give thanks to the Lord “in Christ”! It is He who, “in Christ,” chose us, bestowed upon us every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms, and enabled us to receive this glorious and abundant grace freely. Such immense grace was predestined even before the foundation of the world—aren’t we all “born with a golden spoon”? Hallelujah!

2025 Thanksgiving Month
Day 10

Hebrews 2:1-4
1 Therefore we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, lest we drift away from it. 2 For if the message declared by angels proved to be reliable, and every transgression or disobedience received a just retribution, 3 how shall we escape if we neglect such a great salvation? It was declared at first by the Lord, and it was attested to us by those who heard, 4 while God also bore witness by signs and wonders and various miracles and by gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to his will.

Reflection:
In our daily practice of gratitude, do we truly grasp and give thanks for the “so great a salvation” that God has given us? Are we aware that taking it lightly, or even neglecting it, could cause us to “drift away” or fail to “escape sin”? May the Lord help us to constantly remember and hold fast to His magnificent salvation, living lives marked by thankfulness and trust in Him.

12 …giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints in light.13 He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, 14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.

Reflection:
We thank God for the gospel accomplished for us through His beloved Son, Jesus Christ. In Him, we are redeemed, our sins are forgiven, and we are graciously made children of God. Moreover, we are delivered from all the powers of darkness and brought into “the kingdom of His beloved Son,” where we inherit a glorious heritage in the light. We thank God for giving us the greatest and most beautiful blessing of our lives—our Lord Jesus Christ!
