What if you woke up today with only those things that you thanked God for yesterday?
I am thankful for all God has done for me and I try to thank Him daily, but I must admit when I really think about that question I would have been void of quite a bit in my life this morning. It would be too easy to say 'everything', although I am sure we are thankful for everything.
This one simple question is very complex. This question is also very important if we are to grow as Christians. To thank God for saving us is a good place to begin. I also think we could start right now, today, and thank God for everything He has done for us and we could never finish...but we could try.
"Thou who hast given so much to me, give me one more thing - a grateful heart! "
George Herbert
Psalm 95:1-6 - O Come, let us sing for joy to the LORD; Let us shout joyfully to the rock of our salvation. Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving; Let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms. For the LORD is a great God, And a great King above all gods, In whose hand are the depths of the earth; The peaks of the mountains are His also. The sea is His, for it was He who made it; And His hands formed the dry land. Come, let us worship and bow down; Let us kneel before the LORD our Maker.
