REASONS TO SAY THANKS: Did you ever find yourself staring at the words Thanksgiving Day on the calendar and wondering what in the world you had to be thankful for?
It could happen if a job loss makes you wonder how you'll get enough money to survive. Or if you recently heard bad news from the doctor. Or if someone you had entrusted with your heart has broken it and run away.
The reasons we may find it hard to give thanks are as many as the troubles that strike us each day. Difficulties don't pause for a Thanksgiving break.
There is a way, however, to find reasons to be thankful during even the darkest episodes of life. When the curtain of struggles seems to block out all joy, we can choose to be thankful.
One way is to look into Scripture to see all the things we have to be thankful for, which have nothing to do with circumstances. Despite our trials, we can give thanks for God's unfailing goodness (PSALM 106:1); for God's holy name (PSALM 30:4); for deliverance from sin (ROMANS 7:24-25); for victory over death (1 CORINTHIANS15:56-57); for God's nearness (HEBREWS 13:5).
When all joy seems gone, we can still find reasons to thank God, even if it means thanking Him that our difficulties will one day be replaced by the joys of heaven. -Dave Branon
Giving thanks is a course from which we'll never graduate.

Acerca de este Plan
It doesn’t matter if you have been downsized, laid off or outsourced, let go or fired. The pain is real, and the terrible toll of fear, anger, confusion, and uncertainty that happens when a person’s world collapses around him or her is much more than a statistical reality. It is just real. We pray that these devotionals will be used by Him to bring you hope and encouragement.
