As soon as I saw this headline, I wondered, “Will this list include my favorite verse about giving thanks to God?” It turns out that it does. In fact, my #1 favorite verse about gratitude happens to be #1 on this list.
Psalm 100:4
Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise;
give thanks to him and praise his name.
What about my second favorite? Alas, that didn’t make it.
Psalm 100:5
For the Lord is good and his love endures forever;
his faithfulness continues through all generations.
I love to read these two verses together because the first word of verse 5 links them together.
“For” means “because.” The psalmist tells us to give thanks and praise to God. And then he tells us why we should do that – because of God’s goodness, enduring love, and continuous faithfulness.
The Bible is filled with reasons to be thankful. And here are three of the best: the goodness, love, and faithfulness of God.
How has God shown his goodness to you lately? What has he done to demonstrate his love? And how about his faithfulness? Has he been faithful to you?
If so, express your thanks and praise to him for who he is and what he does – today, Thanksgiving Day, and every day for the rest of your life.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!
