Day 4: Thanksgiving Challenge

We have been blessed from the very beginning with food to eat. And the Lord said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food.” Genesis 1:29

Today, on Day 4 of this Thanksgiving Challenge, let’s be grateful for our food. Many of us are fortunate enough to eat bountiful everyday, so we should be very thankful for our blessings. Our tables are spread with Roast Beef, potatoes, and broccoli, and then followed by apple pie. God provided us with a perfect balance of food, enough to feed all of us, yet so many go hungry.

Let’s take an extra step today, and not only be thankful for our food but help those that hunger. No one should go hungry, there is enough food, yet not enough charitable hands. There are so many organizations that provide food for the hungry, why not help make sandwiches, or help serve those in need. Maybe you can afford to make monthly donations to food pantries, or possibly offer assistance separating the food donations at your local pantry. As Christians, we should not only be thankful for our food, we should help those in need.

When you are sitting at your table today, thank God for this blessing, because God Is Good! What does the bible teach us about food?

Better is a dinner of herbs where love is than a fattened ox and hatred with it. – Proverbs 15:17

So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. – 1 Corinthians 10:31

Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. And as I gave you the green plants, I give you everything. – Genesis 9:3

Whoever has a bountiful eye will be blessed, for he shares his bread with the poor. – Proverbs 22:9

Whoever oppresses a poor man insults his Maker, but he who is generous to the needy honors him. – Proverbs 14:31

Reflect on these few scriptures and be thankful for our food, help those who hunger and do it all with love. If you would like to join the 30 Day Challenge – Follow this Blog and Join our Facebook Page at https://www.facebook.com/TheRoad2Happiness
