Give Thanks

Today’s verse is a simple instruction: Give thanks to God. Contextually, the Israelites have been brought together after decades in exile and suffering. Psalm 107 recounted much of what they went through, including being lost in a desert, dwelling in darkness, illness and being caught in a storm. Whether these descriptions are literal or illustrations of their suffering, the end result is the same; God loves them and has redeemed them.

The verse and psalm by extension is a reminder for us to continually give thanks to God, to remember His love for us. Not just thanks for what He has done for us previously, but continual, ever-present gratitude, mimicking His everlasting love for us.

“Forever, God is faithful
Forever, God is strong
Forever, God is with us”

Chris Tomlin – “Forever”

This new year has begun in the midst of very unique times indeed. We continue to keep the regions of the world in prayer through this season of the global pandemic.

Still, we continue to be still and keep our eyes on the Lord. He takes us through these times as the One who has gone ahead of us.

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;
His mercies never come to end;
they are new every morning;
great is Your faithfulness.
“The LORD is my portion,” says my soul,
“therefore I will hope in Him.”
~ Lamentations 3:22-24 ESV ~

This is a song with a good reminder for this season. May the Lord lead you through this new year with fruitfulness and love.
