“Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever.” This exact verse is found 5 times in the book of Psalms. Psalm 106:1, 107:1, 118:1, 118:29, and 136:1
Most of the time we fail to stop and thank God for His amazing goodness and kindness to us. And then, even when we do “thank” Him, we just hurridly mutter a prayer like “Thanks God…” and then go on our way.
We have SO MUCH to be thankful for. Everyday we live, God give us air to breath, causes our heart to continue beating, and provides for us in SO MANY ways. We could never thank God enough for all that He so graciously does for us.
That’s why the Psalmist wrote the above words over and over, he was constantly reminded of how Awesome and Amazing God is, and how much we owe to Him. These are not the only 5 verses in the book that mention thanking God, but these 5 verse are exactly the same phrase.
I know the Thanksgiving holidays can be a BUSY BUSY time for us, but don’t forget to STOP and take time to REALLY THANK GOD for all that He has done for you!

No one ever cared for me like Jesus;
There’s no other friend so kind as He;
No one else could take the sin and darkness from me.
O how much He cared for me!
I would love to tell you what I think of Jesus
Since I found in Him a friend so strong and true;
I would tell you how He changed my life completely,
He did something that no other friend could do.
No one ever cared for me like Jesus;
There’s no other friend so kind as He;
No one else could take the sin and darkness from me.
O how much He cared for me!
All my life was full of sin when Jesus found me;
All my heart was full of misery and woe;
Jesus placed His strong and loving arms around me,
And He led me in the way I ought to go.
“Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever.”
Have a VERY HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
