Yes, I know that Thanksgiving Day in the United States is past.
But everyday should be a day of giving thanks.
Everywhere.
Especially when I am consciously presenting myself before God.
Let us come before his presence
with thanksgiving,
and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms.For he is our God:
and we are the people of his pasture,
and the sheep of his hand.Psalm 85
Time for Psalm 94. Here are some excerpts to draw you:
Blessed is the man
whom thou chastenest, O Lord,
and teachest him out of thy law;That thou mayest give him rest
from the days of adversity….Unless the Lord had been my help….
When I said,
My foot slippeth;
thy mercy, O Lord, held me up.In the multitude of my thoughts within me
thy comforts delight my soul.
I like that!
I have many thoughts. Among them…prominently…I want an awareness of God’s comfort.
And an embracing of it.
And by it.
