How good it is to give thanks to the Lord!

Psalm 92:1-2"It is good to give thanks to the Lord, to sing praises to Your name, O Most High; to declare Your lovingkindness in the morning, and Your faithfulness every night."

There is nothing better than setting aside time each day to dedicate to God. His Word revitalizes us and gives us the perspective of a day full of blessings. Praising God is good for both our physical and spiritual health.

When we begin our day by thanking God, we start from the belief that God is in control of all things. Just as it is good to begin the day with God, it is also good to end the night in His presence. Thanking God at night calms us, and with His grace, we rest in peace.

Cultivate this good habit: give thanks to God every day!

Give thanks every day:

• Try starting your day with a short prayer, thanking God for the opportunity of a new day.

• Include Bible reading as a daily practice. God's Word feeds us and gives us direction.

• Thank God for the day as you begin the night. Use this time for a longer prayer. Pour out your heart before the Lord and sleep in peace. He is with you!

Prayer:

Lord, I want to thank You for the opportunity to embrace a new day. Keep me safe. May this day be fruitful, and may Your presence make a difference wherever I am. How good it is to give thanks to You, Lord! Amen.
