Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good. His love endures forever. – (Psalm 136:1, NIV)
Praise the Lord because He is good. His faithful love will last forever. – (Psalm 136:1, ERV)
Thank God! He deserves your thanks. His love never quits. – (Psalm 136:1, MSG)
Life is full of distractions if we allow them. It takes intention to give God thanks and recognize Him for all that He has done. Thankfully, His love never quits on us, even when we are distracted or allow our gaze to wander. Lovingly, He woos us back to fix our eyes on Him, and realign our focus on praising our Provider for who He is and how He loves. May we ever give thanks to God for His goodness, and for His love that lasts forever.
Give thanks to the Lord,
For He’s always good;
Let our hearts choose praise,
As love’s understood.
His love’s forever,
It never runs out;
Not circumstantial,
Goes beyond devout.
May we choose praise Him,
Our forever love;
He never fails us,
The Lord God above.
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You that You are good and loving forever. Thank You that no matter where we are or what is going on, You are present to love and see us through. Thank You that You alone are worthy of all of our thanks and praise. Forgive us for the times that we neglect to recognize Your goodness or forget to give You proper praise. Teach us to turn to You with hearts full of thanks, for Your goodness and love never end. Show us how to love those around us with the same sort of love. May many come into a lasting relationship with You. Be glorified O God, as we praise You for Your goodness and unending love. Amen.
