Read Psalm 92.
For those who love the LORD, every day is one of giving thanks. We praise Him in the morning and at night. It is with voice and on instruments. While we are thankful for family, friends, those who sacrifice to keep us safe, and for blessings, ultimately all thanks belongs to God Himself.
"Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights..." (James 1:17)
1. We thank Him for who He is. (vv.1-4)
-His love is steadfast.
-His faithfulness is new every morning. (Lamentations 3:22-23)
2. We thank Him for what He has done. (vv.5-11)
His wonderful works extend from Creation to our Redemption to bring us to today. This requires spiritual insight. The natural person does not understand. He sees what God has done and ascribes it to something or someone else. This robs God of His rightful glory and thanksgiving.
3. We thank Him for what we have. (vv.12-15)
Flourish is a relative term. We may not have all we want, but today the LORD has supplied much more than we need. As people grow older, they slow down or cease their professions or work. But those who know the LORD can continue to grow spiritually and bear fruit in ministry to others.
Two anchors of our faith in God:
He is right. We are thankful to know the truth and to be on the winning side.
He is our Rock. We are thankful to have such unchangeable stability in our lives.
