Good Morning Friends,
“Let them give thanks to the LORD for his
unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for men.” (Psalm 107:8)
“Let them give thanks to the LORD for his
unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for men.” (Psalm 107:15)
“Let them give thanks to the LORD for his
unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for men.” (Psalm 107:21)
“Let them give thanks to the LORD for his
unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for men.” (Psalm 107:31)
I’d say that the psalmist had a point to
make! It seems completely unnecessary
for him to repeat himself over and over again, as though his readers did not
understand the first time. But then I realize
how easy it is for me to forget to give God thanks for His love and His acts of
grace and kindness toward me. Too often,
I take Him for granted and take for granted how fully He provides for me. How many times do I need to be reminded to
give thanks?
When our daughters were young it seemed like
they never said “thank you” on their own.
If we wanted them to say thank you it required constant reminding. Fortunately, they are better now, maturity
has helped change them.
Consider your own life and practice. How naturally do you say “thank you” to the
Lord? How frequently do you forget and
need reminding? Your answer says a lot
about your own spiritual maturity.
The psalmist concluded his psalm with this
challenge, “Whoever is wise, let him heed these things and consider the great
love of the LORD.” (Psalm 107:43)
Say “thanks” to God for His love and His acts
of grace and kindness toward you. Do it
often!
His, by Grace,
Steve
