Happy Thanksgiving Day


2/5

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,

Greetings to you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,

We are going to celebrate thanksgiving day along with this great nation this

month. As we look back we have accumulated so many things which we are

proud of and we want to thank God for that.

Look at Abraham. What do you think it is? Would it be his prized manservant,

Eliezer? Would it be his flocks of sheep and goats, his herds of cattle and

camels? Would it be his army of fighting men that made him one of the great

men in the land of Canaan? Would it be his silver and gold? None of these are

Abram's most valuable possession.

Abram's most valuable possession is his covenant relationship with God. In that

covenant relationship God says three things: one, I shall be your God; two, you

shall be my people; and, three, I shall dwell in the midst of you. Within that

covenant relationship Abram gets to walk with God and to talk with God. Within

that covenant relationship Abram receives the promise of a son. Within that

covenant relationship Abram finds purpose in life and a reason for existence.

Within that covenant relationship lies Abram's glory, Abram's hope, and Abram's

treasure.

Yet Abram did not always consider the covenant relationship with God to be the

most important thing in his life. There were times when other things or people

came first. I think of Abram's desperate attempt to father a child outside of the

covenant relationship by taking his wife's servant, Hagar, to bed. I think of

Abram in the court of Pharaoh, King of Egypt, placing physical safety over his

relationship with God. These incidents represents one of those low points in

Abram's relationship with God. You see, thirteen years thirteen long years

separate the events of Genesis 16 from the events of Genesis 17. There is norecord of God appearing to Abram during those thirteen years. Abram was now

ninety-nine years old, and his wife, Sarai, was not much younger. Abram and

Sarai have been wandering in Canaan for twenty-four years. For twenty-four

years they have been waiting for God's covenant promises to be realized; for

twenty-four years they have been waiting for a son, a child of the promise, to be

born.

Within this setting God appears and confirms his covenant with Abram. God

says to Abram "I am God Almighty." Hebrew the name is "El-Shaddai." This

divine name appears forty-eight times in the Old Testament, most often in thebook of Job. He is God Almighty. When we are week and when we experience

failures, when we are inadequate, He comes to us to reassure us, I AM

ALMIGHTY, I CAN DO IT FOR YOU. And so let us offer our

thanks giving with gratitude to.

Have a blessed thanks giving day. God bless you.

George Joseph Achen.
