5 Bible Verses to Share around the Thanksgiving Table
As we mature in our spiritual walk with God, Thanksgiving Day takes on a whole new meaning. Have you watched a documentary of the Pilgrims, witnessing the heart-wrenching, tortuous, and sorrow-soaked voyage they had to endure? It inspires much awe and admiration.William Bradford, the second governor of the Plymouth Colony, described the departure of the Pilgrims as they boarded the ship to the New World this way: “Truly doleful was the sight of that sad and mournful parting. To see what sighs and sobs and prayers did sound among them; what tears did gush from every eye, and pithy speeches pierced each heart...their Reverend Pastor, falling down on his knees, and they all with him..” Those who know full well the anguish of living God’s truth amid paralyzing setbacks can commiserate with what the Pilgrims had to endure. Having the freedom to worship God based on the truth of the Scriptures was what the Pilgrims risked their lives for, to follow the will of the Lord according to what the Bible says—not based on the capricious whims of the privileged few, whose flawed interpretations of Scriptures ran counter to God’s commands.Photo Credit: ©GettyImages/PeopleImages
