This week's Sunday School Lesson, "Steadfast Thanks" is taken from Hebrews 12:18-29.
(Bible Expositor and Illuminator)
"One who does not see a reason to be thankful does not live by faith. He does not acknowledge God as the Giver of all blessings he enjoys.
The downward spiral of mankind into corruption began wiht an 'unthankful attitude'.
When they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were they thankful (Romans 1:21).
Thanklessness is thus a dangerous attitude and a sure sign of a lack of trust. It may arise out of self-sufficiency that says trust is unnecessary. Or it may come from disappointment that says trust is futile.
The original readers of Hebrews needed a reminder concerning blessings for which they should have thanked God."
We, too, need to be reminded of the blessings for which we should be thankful for and how great our salvation is.
Read Psalm 136 - "Thanksgiving to God for His Enduring Mercy"
