Thanksgiving is manifested by the Lord's people in proclaiming His goodness and mercy to the world. Even the natural man will take delight in telling of a favor that he greatly appreciates. In fact, this is a special evidence that favor is appreciated. How much more then should the disciple of Christ testify to the goodness of God for His wonderful salvation. "O give thanks unto the Lord, for He is good, for His mercy endureth forever. Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom He hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy; and gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south." To the end that we receive the spirit of proclaiming this goodness and mercy, it is essential that we have an abundance of faith ourselves. "As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in Him; rooted and built up in Him, and established in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving."
