“Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; …” Psalms 107:1a NIV
Let’s start our devotion by recognising the goodness of God in our lives. Count your blessings and see how good the Lord has been to you and your family. Gratitude is a powerful way to express our love for Him. When we thank God, we open our hearts to His blessings. Remember, every day is a gift, and we should thank Him for it.In our journey of life, let’s pause to reflect on the goodness of the Lord. The words of Psalms 107:1 remind us to give thanks to God, for He is good. In the midst of challenges and triumphs, His goodness remains unwavering. When we take a moment to count our blessings, we realise the countless ways in which His love and mercy surround us.This verse reminds us that thanksgiving is not just a ritual; it’s a powerful connection with God. As we offer our thanks, accompanied by our concerns and hopes, we invite His peace into our lives. Gratitude becomes a gateway to experiencing the profound calm that only God can provide. So, in the simplicity of thanksgiving, let’s not only acknowledge His goodness but also embrace the peace that comes from entrusting our hearts and minds to Him.
BIBLE READING: Psalm 107:2-9
PRAYER: Lord, let my life be a continuous melody of gratitude, to praise you for your goodness to me. Amen
