Good Morning!

Good morning, beloved! On this Thanksgiving Thursday, November 27th, we gather not just around tables of plenty, but around the table of remembrance. Just as the Israelites built memorial stones to mark God’s faithfulness, today we build our own monuments of gratitude, chronicling His goodness in our lives.

Today’s Prayer

Heavenly Father, on this day of thanksgiving, help us to be intentional chroniclers of Your goodness. Give us eyes to see Your faithfulness written across every season of our lives. May we build lasting memorials in our hearts that testify to Your unwavering love and provision.

In Jesus’ name, we pray.
Amen.

Daily Inspiration

“These stones are to be a memorial to the people of Israel forever” (Joshua 4:7). When Joshua led the Israelites across the Jordan River, God commanded them to take twelve stones from the riverbed and build a memorial. These weren’t just rocks—they were testimonies, physical reminders of divine intervention that would speak to generations yet unborn.

Our lives are filled with Jordan River moments—times when God carried us through impossible situations. The question isn’t whether God has been faithful; it’s whether we’ve been faithful to remember. Today, as we give thanks, we’re called to document our miracles, to build our own memorial stones that declare: “Here, in this place, God showed up.”

Question of the day

How can I create practical “memorial stones” in my daily life to remember God’s faithfulness during difficult seasons?

Scripture encourages us to be intentional about remembrance. Consider keeping a gratitude journal (Psalm 103:2), creating photo albums of answered prayers, or establishing family traditions that retell God’s goodness (Deuteronomy 6:7). Some believers mark significant dates on their calendars as “Ebenezer days”—annual reminders of when God provided breakthrough. Others write letters to their future selves, documenting current struggles and God’s promises. The key is creating tangible reminders that can reignite faith when memories fade and doubts creep in.

Moment of Reflection

What victory in your life needs permanent marking today? Perhaps it’s recovery from illness, restoration of a relationship, or provision during lack. Faith isn’t just about looking forward—it’s about looking back with gratitude. When we revisit past victories, we find courage for present battles. Your memories of God’s faithfulness aren’t just personal treasures; they’re fuel for future faith.

Thought for the day

The Israelites didn’t gather pebbles; they hauled heavy stones from the middle of a miracle. There’s something profound about the effort required to remember well. In our digital age of fleeting moments, God calls us to the ancient practice of deliberate remembrance. Each memorial stone we place becomes a weapon against forgetfulness, a shield against doubt, and a beacon of hope for dark nights.

Consider how memories shape identity. The Israelites knew who they were because they knew Whose they were—and they had the stones to prove it. Your memorial stones tell your children, “We serve a God who shows up.” They whisper to your doubting heart, “He did it before; He’ll do it again.”

Closing Blessing

May this Thanksgiving Day become a memorial stone in your journey. May you leave this day with stories documented, victories celebrated, and faith renewed. May your gratitude today become tomorrow’s strength, and may your remembrance of God’s faithfulness light the path for generations to come.
