Thanksgiving: Our posture for 2025

In this glorious and blessed year 2025, it’s essential to take a moment to reflect on the past year and give thanks for God blessings, lessons, and experiences that have shaped us into who we are today.

The year 2024, with all its joys and challenges, has passed away. We have been given the gift of a new year, full of new opportunities, hopes, and dreams.

As we begin this new year 2025, let us hold onto the words of encouragement, hope, and faith that have been sown into our hearts, and let us continue to nurture our spirits with the truth of God’s word.

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever.

Psalm 107:1 (KJV)

There is a popular gospel worship song titled Give Thanks (written and performed by Don Moen in 1986), which is a powerful reminder of the importance of gratitude and thanksgiving in our lives.

The lyrics of this song beautifully capture the need for all believers to give thanks to God for His love, mercy, and provision.

The song also reminds us that our strength and riches come not from our own abilities or resources, but from the Lord Himself. As believers we are to affirm our trust in God’s power and provision, acknowledging that our true strength and wealth come from God alone.

As we journey through this new year, let us hold onto the truth of God’s word, and let us give thanks with a grateful heart for all that He has done for us.

Let us remember that our weaknesses are made strong in Him, and that our poverty is turned into riches through His abundant provision. May our hearts be filled with gratitude, praise, and worship, as we give thanks to God, who has given us Jesus Christ, His Son, and who has done great things for us.

Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

Philippians 4:6 (KJV)

Give Thanks Lyrics:

Give thanks with a grateful heart
Give thanks to the Holy One
Give thanks because He’s given Jesus Christ, His Son
Give thanks with a grateful heart
Give thanks to the Holy One
Give thanks because He’s given Jesus Christ, His Son
And now let the weak say, “I am strong”
Let the poor say, “I am rich
Because of what the Lord has done for us”
And now let the weak say, “I am strong”
Let the poor say, “I am rich
Because of what the Lord has done for us”
Give thanks with a grateful heart (with a grateful heart)
Give thanks to the Holy One (to the Holy One)
Give thanks because He’s given Jesus Christ, His Son
Give thanks with a grateful heart (with a grateful heart)
Give thanks to the Holy One (to the Holy One)
Give thanks because He’s given Jesus Christ, His Son
And now let the weak say, “I am strong”
Let the poor say, “I am rich,
Because of what the Lord has done for us”
And now let the weak say, “I am strong”
Let the poor say, “I am rich,
Because of what the Lord has done for us”
Give thanks
