Thanksgiving

“O give thanks unto the LORD; for He is good; for His mercy endureth forever.” (I Chronicles 16:34) This verse is repeated verbatim five times in the book of Psalms.

We should give thanks every day. “In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” (I Thessalonians 5:18) Give thanks forever: when things are good, when they seem not so good, all the time. Give thanks from the rising of the sun to the setting of the moon.

Think of the splendor of the creation: the vast glorious skies, majestic mountains, sparkling lakes, stately trees, delicate flowers, and bright stars. Think of the love all around us: human love of family and friends and love of God that exceeds any love people are capable of. Thank God through Christ.

(From Do You Know How God Loves You?)
