Marvelous Monday

Take Time Give Thanks unto the Lord

Oh, give thanks to the Lord! Call upon His name; make known His deeds among the peoples!


We say thank you to a complete stranger for being polite. We say thank you to the bag boy for taking our groceries out to the car. We say thank you to our loved ones when they help out in a special way. But when was the last time you gave thanks to God? Was it this morning, yesterday, last week, last month, six months ago, last year, or maybe never?


In the bible David was always giving God thanks. He thanked Him for everything in his life. He thanked Him for the good, the bad and the ugly times. He thanked Him when his enemies were coming out against and He thanked Him when he won the victory. Can you really thank God for the tough times? Could you thank Him if you lost your job and didn’t find anything until a year later? Could you thank Him while you are going through a tough situation and there seems to be no way out? Or do you only thank Him when things are good? In my walk with God I have learned to thank Him for good and bad times, ups and downs and the smooth and rocky roads that we all must travel. Giving thanks helps you put everything into perspective. It helps you realize you are not in control and God knows how to handle the situation better than you can.


Today, I want to give a shout out to God, The One and Only True and Living God. Thank you for being Faithful. Thank you for loving me and giving me life. Thank you for strength, for forgiving me of my sins, patience, peace, joy and your Word. Thank you for helping me put my priorities in order. Thank you for your provision for my life. Thank you for your protection. And most of all Lord, Thank you for this day for this is the day that you have made; I will rejoice and be glad in it. Thank You Lord!


Take time to give thanks to God in any situation, good or bad. Giving thanks is a key to change anything around in your life.




Have a Beautiful Day
