Thanksgiving. Parents command it of their kids (or should), and God commands it of his image-bearers. Giving thanks to the God, who has given us all things and provided salvation through the sacrifice of his only begotten Son, should be as natural as breathing. But it's not.

This morning, Keith Pond opens up God's word to highlight how giving thanks provides us a barometer to the status of our relationship with God, and giving thanks brings sweet glory to God.
