Psalm 145:1-4 (NLT) I will exalt you, my God and King, and praise your name forever and ever. I will praise you every day; yes, I will praise you forever. Great is the LORD! He is most worthy of praise! No one can measure his greatness. Let each generation tell its children of your mighty acts; let them proclaim your power.
In another month, many people will be making traditional New Year’s resolutions which will last approximately a few weeks before forgotten. Here is an idea. Instead of waiting a month to make a resolution, why not resolve to make this season of Thanksgiving a daily priority. The psalmist’s words encourage us to praise our Heavenly Father every day. Most of us wait for seasonal opportunities to give thanks. There is no better time to start than today.
Gracious Heavenly Father,
Thank you for your mercy and compassion. Thank you for your unfailing love. Thank you for your Presence and guidance in our lives. Thank you for your provision and care. Thank you for the beauty of your creation and the creatures that share the earth. Thank you for always keeping your promise and the stability of your unchanging nature. Most of all, thank you for the gift of salvation through your only beloved Son; and thank you for the blessed hope of resurrection when Jesus Christ returns to gather your faithful ones.
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
Psalm 145:17-18 (NLT) The LORD is righteous in everything he does; he is filled with kindness. The LORD is close to all who call on him, yes, to all who call on him in truth.
