An Unchanging Reason for Thanks
Commentators like Spurgeon and Calvin emphasize that our thanksgiving is not based on our changing circumstances, but on God's unchanging character. He is always good, and His mercy always endures. This provides a constant and foundational reason for praise, regardless of whether we feel prosperous or healthy. God's essential goodness is the ultimate source of our gratitude.
