I believe that one of the things that we are lacking is the idea of giving thanks. In today’s world, people would only give thanks once a year, which would be known as Thanksgiving. Believe it or not, giving thanks is something that we should be doing all year round instead of once a year. Sometimes, as believers, we would only thank God for when the big things happen in our lives. The truth of the matter is that we need to thank God no matter what happens.
In Psalm 118:1-2, the writer is acknowledging that we need to give thanks to the Lord because He is good. As we go throughout our lives, we tend to forget that God is good. When things are going south, we need to understand that He is still good because only He can lift us through. During the rough moments in life, we still need to give thanks To God because He will never lead us astray.
Psalm 118:1-2
1
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good!
His faithful love endures forever.
2
Let all Israel repeat:
“His faithful love endures forever.”
Dear Heavenly Father,
I thank You for Your love. I thank You for Your everlasting love that is always with us no matter where we are at in our lives. Continue to remind us of how wonderful Your love is. Even when we are at our lowest moments, Your love is always there for us. Help us to draw closer to Your love each and every day. Help us to not cave into the pressures of the world. Instead we need to be placed on Your solid foundation.
In Jesus name,
Amen
