O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endureth forever.
Psalm 107:1 (KJV)
Did you ever wake up and just merely say “Thank You” to God?
I mean, just a simple “thank You” and nothing more?
Well, I’m sure many do. But in my own personal experience of speaking with others, the “thank You” is usually followed by many requests for their own purposes, or perhaps for others. Which of course, is the hallmark calling card of faithful Christians, praying, acknowledging and trusting in Him for all things. But, once in awhile…it’s good to just look up and say, “Thank You!”
It’s like parents. They love their children, give them love, support and protection, no matter what. Children ask, “give me this, or give me that” and on it goes. But as a parent, isn’t it an incredulous feeling of joy to hear a child just say, “Good morning, Mom/Dad—thank you for everything you do in my life.”
Sometimes we need to redirect our thoughts and realize the enormity of the situation in terms of God’s love for us, His children. He listens, provides, protects, watches over us, and gives us His heart relentlessly, no matter what. So what a joy for the LORD if and when He hears one of us utter, “Thank You LORD for everything you do in my life, past, present and to come. I love you. Thank you!”
So today, give it a try if you already haven’t done so. Bring a smile and an abundance of joy to the LORD, smile and say, no matter what language you choose to say it in, just say …”Thank You!”
“Father, my LORD, thank You! I love You, adore You, and give you all thanks today, tomorrow and always, in Jesus’ name, Amen.”
