“Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father.” Colossians 3:17 (NASB)

We are thinking this week of the privilege which we have of thanking God for His involvement in our lives. This is often mentioned in our Bible so we have chosen a verse on the subject from the letter to the people in Colossae in Asia Minor, now Turkey. We are accustomed to the principle of praying to God in the name of Jesus. We believe that when we ask God to do something for us and we base our request on our acceptance of Jesus as our Savior, God does act in our behalf. It is very interesting that when we want to express our gratitude to God and to thank Him we approach Him in the same way, in the name of Jesus. So, our access to God for giving thanks as well as for making requests, is always in that wonderful name of Jesus. Let's remember this now during Thanksgiving week and beyond.
