What are you grateful for today?
Today, I am grateful for friends. While I work hard to be independent, there are things for which I must ask for help. God has blessed me with friends who help when needed, share their joys and sorrows, and allow me to share mine. We walk this journey of life together. What a blessing!
We continue to think about gratitude this month. Psalm 138 is full of praise to our God. I love how David tells of God being high, yet God regards us, the lowly. Even when in the midst of trouble, God preserves us. He fulfills His purpose for us. His steadfast love never ends. Oh, what a God we have! Praise His Name!
Give Thanks to the Lord 138 Of David.
1 I give you thanks, O Lord, with my whole heart; before the gods I sing your praise;
2 I bow down toward your holy temple and give thanks to your name for your steadfast love and your faithfulness, for you have exalted above all things your name and your word.
3 On the day I called, you answered me; my strength of soul you increased.
4 All the kings of the earth shall give you thanks, O Lord, for they have heard the words of your mouth,
5 and they shall sing of the ways of the Lord, for great is the glory of the Lord.
6 For though the Lord is high, he regards the lowly, but the haughty he knows from afar.
7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life; you stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies, and your right hand delivers me.
8 The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me; your steadfast love, O Lord, endures forever. Do not forsake the work of your hands.
