“It is good to give thanks to the Lord And to sing praises to Your name, O Most High; To declare Your lovingkindness in the morning And Your faithfulness by night,” Psalm 92:1-2 (NASB)
It is Thanksgiving week in the United States. Other countries have similar celebrations at different times. It is the time of the year when most of us spend a little more time thinking about the benefits and blessings we have from God. Those who follow Jesus will focus a bit more on offering thanks to God for the gift of His Son. These words mean that it is a good practice to thank God all the time. It means that it does us good to thank and praise Him. Giving thanks is not just for one day or one season of the year. Because God is never off duty or on vacation and is a 24/7/365 God, it is good for us to respond in kind and thank God in the morning for His love for us. It helps train our focus on the blessings we receive from Him. It is also good to thank Him at night for His faithfulness during the day. It makes the day different and strengthens our faith for the next day. Practicing daily thanksgiving makes a difference in our lives and it makes a difference in our outlook. Let's make it a habit we practice.
