Spurgeon spoke of thanksgiving hundreds of times in his writings and sermons. But thanksgiving was not an occasional event, rooted on circumstances or holidays or good food. Rather, thanksgiving was to be a part of the Christian life. This is what Spurgeon called thanks-living.
"Then, brethren, we ought to be always thanks-living. I think that is a better thing than thanksgiving — thanks-living. How is this to be done? By a general cheerfulness of manner, by an obedience to the command of him by whose mercy we live, by a perpetual, constant, delighting ourselves in the Lord, and submission of our desires to his mind. Oh! I wish that our whole life might be a psalm; that every day might be a stanza of a mighty poem; that so from the day of our spiritual birth until we enter heaven we might be pouring forth sacred minstrelsy in every thought. and word, and action of our lives. Let us give him thankfulness and thanks-living." So that we can pursue a more consistent life of thanks-living, join us for our study this coming Lord's Day of Psalm 34 & "Thriving Through Thanksgiving in Crisis."
