Give thanks to the Lord

 

1 Chronicles 16:34 NIV

Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.

God is so unbelievably good.  He walks with me and talks with me.  He tells me that I am HIs own.  He showers me with tender mercies and love.  He is so very worthy of every ounce of thanksgiving and praise.

This week I have started posting 'I'm grateful' post daily on Facebook.  I am being intentional about looking for and thanking God for blessings He showers upon me daily.  Like reminding me to stay patient with my students. Or giving me the strength to continue to physically stand when my feet are hurting as well as spiritually stand when the enemy would seek to test my faith.

Life can be hard, but it pays us to remember to look beyond our circumstances to the One who is over all.  To the One who is compassionate and good.  It is refreshing to recall His good works and offer praise.  Praise is freeing and it ushers in His presence.  We are filled with His Spirit that lifts us higher. So let us take moments to worship God and give Him praise.

Lord, I love you and I thank You.  I thank You for your consistency of character.  Thank You for seeing me through another week.  Thank You for never leaving me or forsaking me.  You are good and worthy of all the praise. Forgive me for those times that I grumble rather than thanking You for your goodness.  In Jesus name.  Amen
