Thanksgiving

Psalms 107:22-31

22  Let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, And declare His works with rejoicing.

23  Those who go down to the sea in ships, Who do business on great waters,

24  They see the works of the LORD, And His wonders in the deep.

25  For He commands and raises the stormy wind, Which lifts up the waves of the sea.

26  They mount up to the heavens, They go down again to the depths; Their soul melts because of trouble.

27  They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, And are at their wits' end.

28  Then they cry out to the LORD in their trouble, And He brings them out of their distresses.

29  He calms the storm, So that its waves are still.

30  Then they are glad because they are quiet; So He guides them to their desired haven.

31  Oh, that men would give thanks to the LORD for His goodness, And for His wonderful works to the children of men!

Human nature tends to wait until times of distress to call on the Lord. This Psalm tells us over and over that we should give thanks to the Lord for His goodness and not just wait until we are in distress. Thankfully, the Lord is gracious and merciful with us and answers us no matter what! This week share some answer to prayer you've received in your lifetime with your family or friends! Keep thanking!

Happy Thanksgiving!
