What a great national holiday, Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving is about giving thanks to God for what He has so graciously given us. In giving thanks we praise God as our Provider. Giving thanks to God reminds us that what we have is because of God's gracious provision.
Even when we approach God to ask Him for something, we are to start with giving Him thanks for what He has already done for us (Philippians 4:6). When I give thanks to God for my blessings, I grow in my appreciation for what I already have. It is no wonder that being thankful for what we have is a key to contentment and peace in our lives (Philippians 4:6,7,11-13). Notice in Philippians 4:11-13 that Paul connects contentment with the statement in verse 13, "I can do all things through Him who strengthens me." Now, that's power!
