Genesis 8.
Upon leaving the Ark, the first recorded action by Noah and his family was to build an altar and worship God. Surely, that was a time for thanksgiving for keeping them safe and delivering them through the catastrophe. It is normal for me to cry out to God when the trouble comes. It is a good reminder to take time to thank God for bringing us through the tough times.
I can never read verse 22 without thinking of that great old hymn "Great is Thy Faithfulness". I memorized all three verses of it years ago. The hymn writer took this portion of Genesis 9 for the second verse when he wrote:
"Summer and winter, and spring-time and harvest,
Sun, moon and stars in their courses above,
Join with all nature in manifold witness,
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love."
Every sun rise, every season, God says is a sign that He is faithful. And, He will be faithful to you today.
