More about Remembering the provider

As we sit down to enjoy a delicious meal, it can be easy to get caught up in the moment and forget to give thanks to God for his provision. We may be so focused on the taste and aroma of the food that we forget the source of our blessings.

In 1 Thessalonians 5:18, the Apostle Paul reminds us to "give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." This includes giving thanks before, during, and after a meal. We should make it a habit to pause and offer a prayer of thanks to God before we start eating, acknowledging his provision and giving him the glory.

This act of giving thanks not only honors God, but it also helps us to cultivate an attitude of gratitude and contentment. It reminds us that all good things come from God, and that we should never take His blessings for granted.
