Worship the Lord with Thanksgiving
Photo by Andi Rieger
It is GOOD to give thanks to the Lord (Ps. 92:1). It is good for our heart, our mind, our body, and everything around us, and it is worship at a profound level.
Our words hold great power, and when we use them to give God thanks, we bless His heart. We are like little children telling our Father how much we appreciate Him, and this is precious to Him.
Let’s take a few moments to thank the Lord for who He is, what He does for us, and how much He loves us. Read the following list out loud, and let each statement connect with your heart.
Thank You for Your faithfulness (1 Cor. 10:13).
