A Clay Jar

Encouraging, comforting, and urging you to live lives worthy of God, who calls you into his kingdom and glory. (1 Thess. 2:12 NIV)

Give Thanks to the Lord, for He Is Good

Psalm 118:1

Last Updated on:

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

Psalm 118:1 NIV

In the United States, we set aside one day a year and designate it as Thanksgiving, a time to remember the blessings of the past year. But as a believer in the triune God, I am called to express thanksgiving to him every day. There is so much to be thankful for. I am thankful . . .

  • that God loves me and has called me to Himself
  • for the hope I have in Christ
  • that He has called me into his service and gifted me for that task
  • for my wife, children, and grandchildren
  • that I have a comfortable home
  • for a church where I am able to worship and serve
  • for a few close friends I can share my heart with
  • and for even more friends who brighten my day
  • for good health
  • for all the years of life he has given me
  • and for the trail and the ability to enjoy the creation

I am blessed beyond measure. Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for he is good. Praise him for all he has done for us.
