Psalm 40:5 "Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered."
Thanksgiving is less than two weeks away now. Today's thoughts will be an
exercise of giving thanks unto the Lord.
We sing the song, Count Your Blessings:
When upon life’s billows you are tempest tossed,
When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost,
Count your many blessings name them one by one,
And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.
My first thought is that it is impossible to count our blessings. David
acknowledged that in this verse by saying, "... if I would declare and
speak of them, they are more than can be numbered." That is the absolute
truth; yet, we should have a heart that is filled with gratitude every single
day. The works of the Lord are wonderful and they are numerous. His
thoughts toward us are constant. We are always on His mind and in His care.
Wouldn't today be a good day to just stop and spend time thinking about today's
verse of Scripture and actively saying, "Thank you, Lord."
