With the close of another harvest season, we have much to think about. In Psalm 100 the holy singer exhorts, "Know that the LORD is God!"

Let the unwise think that they can be their own gods. Christians, however, think on God as the living source from whom all blessings flow.

There is only One True God - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit - the Triune God. We are not gods. We were created by the One True God and he provides all blessings.

The Lord who is God is the One who revealed Himself to Moses as Yahweh:
"I AM WHO I AM" (Exodus 3:14). He entered into a covenant relationship with His people. He is our Father too, and we have become His children, thanks to Jesus' "blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins" (Matt. 26:28). Thus God is the believer’s greatest good, for "His love endures forever; His faithfulness continues through all generations" (Ps. 100:5).

We belong to God also because He is our maker and provider:
"It is He who made us, and we are His" (Ps. 100:3). He furnishes us with health, family, farmland, forest, town, city, police force, work opportunities, cars to take us to work, paychecks, and many more blessings.

The more you think on these great themes of God’s gracious gifts, the more you are prompted to thank, to "enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise," and to "come before Him with joyful songs" (Ps. 100:4). Thanksgiving is the result of right Christian thinking.

Most importantly we thank God for our Salvation. We are all born into sin and live in it this side of heaven. Thousand, thousand thanks be to our Lord Jesus Christ Who came to die for our sins and rise again on Easter that we might have eternal life in heaven praising our Triune God eternally.
