I have a great challenge for you today. We seem to get in a bad habit of always asking God for things. And we are approaching a time of year where we will ask our loved ones what they would like to have as presents for Christmas.

Do we not treat God sometimes like a "cosmic Santa Clause" that we approach each day with our list of wants. We will take three minutes of our day to crawl up into his lap and try to convince the jolly man that we have been good enough today to receive a blessing or an answered prayer.

What if we could just spend the entire day doing Psalms 118:29?
"Give thanks to the Lord for He is good"

Everything that happens today - Give Him Thanks!
  • When your car starts - Psalms 118:29
  • When your children come home from school or their job safe and sound - Psalms 118:29
  • When your boss hands you your paycheck - Psalms 118:29
  • When someone brings you good news - Psalms 118:29
  • When someone brings you bad news - Psalms 118:29

Let's join together and bring in as many people as possible on our quest to have a Psalms 118:29 day. And when they ask you what that means, just say, "We are giving Thanks to God for He is good!" No matter what comes our way today, we are going to thank God!

Prayer: "God, Thank you for being exactly who you promised us you would be in your word."
