“It is good to give thanks to the LORD, And to sing praises to Thy name, O Most High, To declare Thy lovingkindness in the morning, and Thy faithfulness by night.”
   Psalm 92:1-2 NASB ©

There is great benefit in giving thanks to God. It is the right thing to do. Giving thanks helps us put things and life into perspective. It brings pleasure and joy to our lives. More than just thanking others, we must thank the Lord. He has done so much for us, from the daily necessities of existence to providing eternal life for all who place their faith in Jesus Christ the Lord. Giving thanks leads us to sing praises to God and to proclaim God’s great love, grace, mercy, kindness, and faithfulness all day long.

Lord Jesus, I want to thank You for giving me another day to live. Thank You for the opportunity to lift my voice in song, praising You my Lord.
