How could I miss that? The answer is usually because I'm not paying attention. Dennis Jernigan's song, "Thank You, Lord," might not be a new worship anthem, but it gives us a great structure to linger in some areas of Scripture we've covered in the past few weeks on the podcast. It will do our hearts good to go back over some ground we've covered to see if there might be something we missed that we can turn into thanksgiving to our God.

Try a new technique to tarry in God's Word with new purpose.

On this week's episode I discuss:

• Summarizing what we're learning into a prayer back to God
• Recognizing that it doesn't seem to bother Scripture to declare God as One who both hurls Jonah into the deep and brings his life up from the pit
• Being thankful for God as
