Who Me? Give Thanks?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who give thanks. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Don Moen wrote the praise song, “Give Thanks.” The refrain is as follows:

“Give thanks with a grateful heart
Give thanks to the Holy One
Give thanks because He’s given
Jesus Christ, His Son”

Psalm 106:1-3 (ESV) begins with a statement of praise.

“Praise the Lord!
Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good,
for his steadfast love endures forever!
Who can utter the mighty deeds of the Lord,
or declare all his praise?
Blessed are they who observe justice,
who do righteousness at all times!”

Are you in the mood to praise and/or give thanks to God? If not, take time to reflect on all God has done. Realize if he has been faithful before, he is trustworthy to be faithful today, tomorrow, and always.

Does the Lord Reign?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who know the Lord reigns. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Not everyone has experienced a flood, yet many can relate to being near a seashore and listening to the roar. When the rushing water of a fast-moving river crashes into rocks, it has a roar of its own. Psalm 93: 1-5 (ESV) affirms the Lord reigns and the floods lift up their voice.

“The Lord reigns; he is robed in majesty;
the Lord is robed; he has put on strength as his belt.
Yes, the world is established; it shall never be moved.
Your throne is established from of old;
you are from everlasting.

The floods have lifted up, O Lord,
the floods have lifted up their voice;
the floods lift up their roaring.
Mightier than the thunders of many waters,
mightier than the waves of the sea,
the Lord on high is mighty!

Your decrees are very trustworthy;
holiness befits your house,
O Lord, forevermore.”

The Lord is mightier than the thunders of many waters. Ponder the wonders of creation. God reigns over it all. Does the Lord reign in your life? Do you count his decrees very trustworthy? Ask him to reveal himself. If you know he reigns, praise him.
