Psalm 136:1 "O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever."

Truly, our God is good and His mercies are new to us each morning. I walked outside. The air is clear and crisp. The sun is shining. Even in the cool of the morning, the sun is warming. Isn't that how our God's love affect us? Even in the midst of a world that is filled with hatred, anger, jealousy, and many other emotions that are detrimental to us, God's love shines down upon us.

Thank you Heavenly Father! Truly God is good and His mercy endures forever.

Though this entire Psalm is a fervent cry unto the Lord, the Psalmist tells us specifically in three verses that he cried daily unto the Lord.

One of the most beautiful Psalms of Thanksgiving is the 100th Psalm. Please turn to it and read verses one through five. With all my heart I believe we are a people and a nation that has truly been blessed by God. Of all those who “give thanks to Him and praise His name” we should be at the top! It is not uncommon to compile wish lists at Christmas, and draw up a list of resolutions for the new year. But there is another list we often overlook - a Thanksgiving Day list of all for which we are thankful. What would your list contain? Most likely, a good part would be material possessions. I’m convinced that we would find that we have much more for which to be thankful than just our material possessions. Like you, I’m sure my list would include the major things - life, health, family, friends, and the nation we live in, despite all its flaws. But even more than that, I’m thankful for my salvation, my Church family, and the mercy that God showers upon us each d...
