A Month of Thanksgiving: Thank Him for our Very Lives

Continuing on with my series, a Month of Thanksgiving....

God gives us so many blessings to be thankful for which we often take for granted. We don't even think about what He does for us sometimes unless it is "big" and "obvious".

The fact that we can communicate, that we can understand the written word (how our amazing brains even work by His design!), that we can learn and grow, that we are sitting here right now breathing. Psalm 150 says to let everything that has breath praise the Lord. That means you too!

Have you thanked Him today for being alive? For having life in your bones? David asked God for deliverance so that he could continue to thank the Lord before others and praise Him:


"Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies' sake. For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks?"
(Psalm 6:5-6)
