Nazarene Bible College issued the following announcement on Nov. 23.

The Nazarene Bible College offices will be closed on Thanksgiving Day (Nov. 26) and Friday (Nov. 27).

We wish all our students, faculty, staff, adjuncts, alumni, and NBC friends, a God-blessed Thanksgiving.

Here are some scriptures on thankfulness to meditate on. God has done marvelous things in the past and is doing great things today!

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

Colossians 3:15-17

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

Psalm 9:1

I will give thanks to you, Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.

Psalm 106:1

Praise the Lord. Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever.

Colossians 2:6-7

So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.

Philippians 4:6-7

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Luke 17:15-17
