Thankfulness
A Psalm of praise.
Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands. Serve the LORD with gladness:
come before his presence with singing. Know ye that the LORD he is God: it
is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his
people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter into his gates with
thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto
him, and bless his name. For the LORD is good; his
mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all
generations.” (Psalms
100:1-5)
Today’s Morsel: If
someone were to tell you that you had been invited to the White House to meet
with the president, what would be your reaction? Some folks may say that it
would be no big deal for them because they do not like the president. But
believe me, most people who would be given that opportunity would be excited.
If nothing else, just to be able to say that they had met the president in
person and that they had been inside the White House. The Psalmist states that
we should enter the gates of the Lord with thanksgiving, and His courts with
praise; that we should be thankful unto Him and bless His name. There are so
many reasons, if we would ponder them, that we should be thankful for. When we
are awakened in the morning, we should be thankful. When we have a job to go
to, we should be thankful. When we see the roof over our heads, we should be
thankful. When we read the word of God, we should be thankful. When we have
food to eat, we should be thankful. When we see all the migrants trying to get
into another country to better their lives, we should be thankful that that is
not us. It doesn’t take much to be thankful for if we stop and consider where
we are and where God has brought us from. Remember, tomorrow is not
promised! Be thankful today.
Sing: Thanks,
thanks, I give You thanks, for all You have done. I am so blessed, my
soul has found rest, O’ Lord, I give You thanks.
Thought For Today: Don’t
ever forget to bless the Lord.
