Thanks

September 28th – Psalm 136:1

Psalm 136:1

Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good. His love endures forever.

Psalm 136 is one of my favorites, because it’s a summary of the entire book of Psalms. And its message, repeated 26 times, is this. God’s lovingkindness is everlasting. What a beautiful promise we can carry in our hearts! And a powerful reminder that God’s goodness and love aren’t limited by time or circumstance, but are boundless and unending. Most wonderful of all, God offers His love and grace freely to all who call on Jesus as Lord. No wonder our hearts can’t help but sing His praises! For God’s lovingkindness is a profound expression of His goodness, compassion, and grace, inviting us to experience a deep and transformative relationship with Him. David was quite the poet. And this Psalm is no exception. It’s full of hope and comfort to a lost and hurting world. And contains the blessed promise that God’s love and mercy remain steadfast. Demonstrated most of all through His Son, Jesus Christ, who shed His precious blood to provide eternal life to all who believe in Him.

November 15th – Exodus 15:1

Exodus 15:1

Many Christians frown upon celebrating holidays due to their pagan roots. But that’s not true with Thanksgiving. With the original day of December 13, 1621, the colonists started the tradition of giving thanks. A day set aside for feasting, prayer, and gratitude to God for all of His provisions. The Biblical definition of thanksgiving is “the act of acknowledging what is right about God in prayer and thanks.” And having gratitude to God comes up around 125 times throughout the Bible. That makes it pretty clear how important hearts of thanksgiving are to the Lord. The first thing the Israelites did when safely crossing the Red Sea was to sing a song of praise to God. For they knew that all good things in life only come from the Lord, especially their deliverance. And no matter the circumstance we face, there is always something to be thankful for. So this holiday and all days in between, from hearts overflowing with thanks, let our lips constantly be singing God’s praises!

November 19th – Deuteronomy 10:21

Deuteronomy 10:21

We live in a world that loves to idolize. Whether it be a favorite celebrity, athlete, or political leader, society loves to put on a pedestal those we feel are the end all and be all. But the only One truly worthy of our worship and praise is God. He is good, faithful and true. The Lord is the One who gave His life to purchase ours. It is He who loves us unconditionally and will never forsake us. Everywhere we look we can see the great and awesome things God does for us and to Him alone goes the glory!
