Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good!

Few days ago, I found a letter I wrote to God about 10 years ago. As funny as this sounds, I used to write letters to God and would hide it in my suitcase for a year and then bring it out to read. The last letter was written about 10 years ago and while reading the letter, I was in awe. I was just counting the things I have received from God, the answered prayers, and the character change in me. I was amazed by the great transformation and the way God channeled my letters to Him into books and blogs about Him. Indeed, the Lord is good and what we entrust in His hands is secured. Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever. (Psalms 107:1) As we are in the week of praise and thanksgiving, I want you to look back into your life and note down the changes that have taken place since you met the Lord. The Psalmist reminds us to “give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever” (Psalms 107:1). Many of us have encountered strange situations and the Lord miraculously saved us. The Psalmist encourages us to testify about our redemption: “Let the redeemed of the Lord tell their story— those he redeemed from the hand of the foe” (Psalms 107:2). From the verses 4-43 of Psalm 107, different scenarios of God’s redemption are mentioned. Whenever we receive something good from good, we should not forget to give thanks. I call it the attitude of gratitude. Remember, God does not need our thanksgiving to survive, we need to give thanks so we can receive more from the Lord. God’s love to us endures forever, but when the Israelites only murmured severally upon all the great things God did for them, they received the reward for murmuring (they were denied access to the promised land). On the other hand, Joshua and Caleb stood for God and testified of God’s victory in the past and what He could do in the present. Joshua and Caleb had a praise report and they were rewarded. Don’t ignore the blessings of God, if you want to receive more, be a person who shows gratitude, thankfulness and have your praise button pressed all the time.  “Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for mankind. Let them exalt him in the assembly of the people and praise him in the council of the elders.” (Psalms 107:31‭-‬32)
