The Unimaginable Riches of The Lord

1 Chronicles 29:13
Now, our God, we give you thanks, and praise your glorious name.

King David was given unimaginable riches to pass along to his son, Solomon, who had been chosen by God to build the temple.  As the riches were collected, all the people came together and brought the things that they could contribute to the building of the temple.  Think of the immense pleasure and satisfaction that David felt as he stood over this assembly.  He captured the moment perfectly.

David praised the Lord in the presence of the whole assembly, saying, “Praise be to you, Lord, the God of our father Israel, from everlasting to everlasting.  Yours, Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendor, for everything in heaven and earth is yours.   Yours, Lord, is the kingdom; you are exalted as head over all.  Wealth and honor come from you; you are the ruler of all things.  In your hands are strength and power to exalt and give strength to all.  Now, our God, we give you thanks, and praise your glorious name. 
1 Chronicles 29:10-13

As we gather with our families during the Thanksgiving holiday, let us consider them the unimaginable riches that the Lord has provided.  Let us express before them the joy of gathering with them.  And most certainly, let us give thanks and praise to Our All Sufficient Lord.

Prayer,
Heavenly Father, we thank You for every provision that we have been given on this earth.  We give thanks and praise Your glorious name for the eternal provision given through Your Son, Jesus.  We pray, Lord, that we will have thanksgiving in our hearts every single moment that we breathe.  We ask that we will find joy in the many riches that You have provided, especially in the joy that You have provided through the treasure that is our families and our friends.  May our joy and thanksgiving draw those around us to Your Son, Jesus, and the eternal provision that He holds for them.  We ask all these things in the name of One worthy of all praise, Jesus Christ.
