Revelation 21:1-4—
November concludes with Thanksgiving, a holiday intended to offer us a time to remember the blessing we enjoy. For us, the holiday provides us more than a chance to remember the many good things within our lives; it allows us to intentionally practice the thankfulness the Bible describes as an essential Christian characteristic (cf. Philippians 4:6; Colossians 4:2; 1 Thessalonians 5:18). To help us focus on that part of our identity, we will use this month’s Sundays to remind ourselves of some of the blessings God has given to us. We begin in this lesson by considering why we should be thankful for the places God chooses to dwell:
I am thankful because God chooses to dwell with us.
