“Oh that men would praise the LORD for His goodness and for His wonderful works to the children of men” (Psalm 107:8, 15, 21, 31).
Four times the Psalmist cries out that we should praise the Lord for His goodness. I cannot help but wonder how many times in my life have I been in such a hurry that I’ve missed the goodness of the Lord in the blessings that He has sent? Grandpa had a ten dollar bill that he wanted to give to his grandson Benny. As Benny flew in and out of the house, he often tried to get his grandson’s attention. He never did. On a far more significant scale, I wonder how many times I have been just like Benny? Flying so quickly through my day, how many times have I missed the good blessings of the Lord? God’s works extended to mankind are wonderful. The Lord is incredibly wonderful in everything He does. He is worthy of our praise.
For today: Be on the alert for the wonderful works of the Lord. Give Him thanks today for Who He is as well as for what He does!
