GIVE THANKS

1 Chronicles 16:33 (1 Chronicles 16:34)

Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good,
For His mercy endures forever.

Personal Challenge

David takes time to give thanks to the Lord and to proclaim that He is good and that His mercy endures forever. David did this quite often. Whether he was in the midst of a battle, under attack by people such as Saul (the recognized king of Israel), or in times of peace, David always found time to praise and glorify the Lord, his Lord. This is the lesson for us, as well as the challenge. If we desire to be followers of Christ then we need to spend time giving thanks to the Lord, recognizing and proclaiming that He is good and that His mercy endures forever, and then living our lives as if we truly believe this. These are trying times but the Lord is good, his mercy endures forever and I am thankful that I am His. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, the sinner!
