“Give thanks unto the LORD, call upon His name, make known His deeds among the people. Sing unto Him, sing psalms unto Him, talk ye of all His wondrous works” (1 Chronicles 16:8-9).

I love this time of year. Thanksgiving and Christmas are some of the most special and significant times to me out of the entire calendar. I realize that Thanksgiving is not the only time of the year in which I am to be thankful. But I am thankful! And these next two weeks I’m going to share a brief thought or two about the idea of “giving thanks” unto the Lord. In our verse for today David celebrates the bringing of the ark of God up to Jerusalem. He rejoices in the good things that His awesome God was doing. Will you be giving thanks unto the Lord and calling upon His name today? Are you a thankful believer?

For today: I want to grow in my attitude of gratitude. How about you?
