Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good;
his love endures forever.
1 Chronicles 16:34 NIV

Thanksgiving is a day set aside on our calendar for giving thanks. But we should learn to give thanks every day. And I believe that is especially appropriate in these challenging times. COVID-19 is still raging around the world with deadly effects. The measures taken to minimize its spread and severity have been controversial. The political atmosphere in the United States is toxic and divided. The social fabric that has held us together seems to be unraveling quickly. It would be easy to fall into the trap of thinking that there is not much to be thankful for this year.

But I am thankful. Grateful to the one I have committed my life to. While the world around me may be chaotic, he is a rock I can cling to. As David did in 1 Chronicles 16:7-36, I can always look back and see his hand at work in my life. And I can look forward with the expectation that he will continue to care for me, using all that happens to help me to grow as his child (James 1:2-4). Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good and his love lasts forever!

I Will Give Thanks to the Lord – Psalm 9:1-2

Giving thanks to the Lord should be a constant activity for the believer. He has done so much for us, and we have so much to be thankful for.

Rejoice, Pray and Give Thanks – 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. Nothing needs saying.

His Love Endures Forever – Psalms 107:1

We can, and should, give thanks to God. Because he is good and desirable. And because his love for us endures forever. It will not end.

I Always Thank My God for You – 1 Corinthians 1:4

But we can, and should, thank God for all of those who have received the grace of God given in Christ Jesus, despite our differences.
