Psalms 100:5 “For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations”. (NKJV)
One of the most powerful emotions is gratitude. If we can find ways to be thankful throughout our lives, we will find the power and emotional strength to walk through some of life’s hardest seasons.
It’s not always easy to find ways to be thankful, but Scripture teaches us throughout the Psalms that there is always something to be grateful for.
The Psalms teach us various songs and poems for every season of our life. But more than that, they also teach us how to cultivate a heart of gratitude and worship towards God.
We belong to a God who loves us and cares deeply for us. God’s love and goodness will never end. Psalm 100:5 praises God for these things:
“For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations”.
Through Psalms like this, we can begin to build a habit of gratitude towards God and all He has done. We can thank God for what He has done in our lives, what He is currently doing, and what He will do in the future as we follow Him.
Take a few moments today to strengthen the habit of gratitude in your life.
First, begin by thanking God for who He is: that He is good, faithful, and loving towards you.
Next, thank God for all that He has done in your life. Thank Him for the good things in your life, and that He has walked with you through the hard times.
Lastly, thank God for all He will continue to do in your life.
God’s goodness and love are everlasting and available to all people. His love for us is not based on our worthiness or performance but on His Nature. God is good to us not that we are good, but because He is good.
Amen
