Nearly 150 years ago President Lincoln set aside a Thursday in November for the nation to express Thanksgiving for the blessings from God.

David, the king of Israel beat it to him almost 3,000 years ago in Psalm 100:4: Enter his gates with thanksgiving in your heart." What does enter his gates means: It means going into God's presence.

Most people will observe Thanksgiving but not very many will enter his gates.

I challenge people to enter his gates with thanksgiving. It may just change your life.
