During this time of the year, we thank God for food, clothing, church, and His love. That is all well and good. Is this the only time to be thankful? Of course not! We need to make a heart decision to walk in thanksgiving all the time.

The Psalmist King David had an understanding of worship, praise, and thanksgiving. The royal protocol for entering the king’s court was thanksgiving. Magnifying and giving thanks pleased the Lord even more than an offering of an ox or bullock. Wow!  

The Psalmists moved far beyond the natural when he said “Give thanks unto the Lord for His mercy endureth forever.” He was thanking God for His mercy and how great it was. He knew the power of it and the glory and he didn’t take it lightly. You know David was a great king over Israel and He could have been saying. “Thank you God for making me king, and for riches and for a gorgeous home of cedar and that was good. But how much better to have his heart overflow with thanksgiving towards God for His goodness and mercy, so much so that he said it over and over again. King David said “I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving.”   Today let us rejoice together in praise in thanksgiving. “For the Lord is good and His mercy endures forever.”
