Thankful!

Today is a day that we express our Thankfulness but I want to ask a question. Why do you express thanks? I fear there are to many times when we are thankful for "things." We are thankful for health, work, family, food, and many things that have been provided for us (and we should be thankful). But can we still be happy is we don’t have these things? Notice what the Psalmist wrote:

Ps 118:1-4
Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good;
For His lovingkindness is everlasting.
2 Oh let Israel say,
"His lovingkindness is everlasting."
3 Oh let the house of Aaron say,
"His lovingkindness is everlasting."
4 Oh let those who fear the Lord say,
"His lovingkindness is everlasting." NASU


Here we are challenged to give thanks to the Lord because He is good not because of the good things we have or the good things He has done for us. God is good because His lovingkindness is everlasting. There is no end to God or to His lovingkindness that is why we are told to give thanks!

Did you take time to give thanks today? Did you give thanks because God is good, because His lovingkindness does not end.

Thank you God for your loving kindness is everlasting!
