O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: because his mercy endureth for ever.
Psa 118:1.

This phrase is repeated eleven times throughout the scriptures with only minor variation.  It tells me that all the blessings that I’ve received throughout my life are a result of God’s infinite mercy toward His children.  Giving thanks to our Heavenly Father is an expression of humility, acknowledging that all that we are and all that we have are undeserved gifts.

How can we adequately express our gratitude to His infinite being? In his Colossian letter, Paul states, “And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.” Our words and deeds are a testimony to mankind of our thanksgiving for the blessings we’re received from God’s merciful hand.

Your servant,
Dan
