giving thanks
I was grateful to be able to preach this morning on thanksgiving. It was a good morning to give thanks to God and remind ourselves that thanksgiving is a critical discipline for the Christian life.
I loved being able to discuss 1 Chronicles 16. I find that to be a wonderfully inspiring text. David as king could have easily turned that victory into an event that was all about him. The people have already shown their readiness to sing his praises and proclaim his greatness, but he does not let the situation move in that direction. Instead he focuses the people on God. I want to be that kind of leader.
