The Best Bible Verses to Declare with Thanksgiving
On this holiday, many people like to eat good food and share in the company of our family and friends. It’s a time when we give thanks to God and remember how grateful we are for all we have — and all that is still to come!
I invite you today, whether you’re celebrating Thanksgiving or not, to take this opportunity to lean into God’s love for you.
Here’s how I do that: I like to declare Bible verses over my life.
I encourage you to take a moment to read these Bible verses aloud and declare them over your life. Then watch thanksgiving spring up in your heart and mind!
