Daily Devotion - Psalm 92 - Three Reasons To Be Thankful
You might be surprised to hear that the most common command in the bible isn’t prohibitive. Rather, scripture urges us again and again to DO something. Over 70 times in the New Testament, we are commanded to give thanks and praise to our God. In the book of Psalms alone, it is thought that there are around 36 references to thanksgiving, occurring in 24 different Psalms. So why is thankfulness so important? The truth of the matter is, there are infinite reasons to give thanks and praise to our God – and it would be impossible to list them all, but here are three to get you started!
Being Thankful is Good
Psalm 92 opens with these words: It is good to give thanks to the Lord, and to sing praises to Thy name, O Most High, to declare Thy lovingkindness in the morning, and Thy faithfulness by night.
Giving thanks is good! The word good here could be interchanged with ‘right’ or ‘fitting.’ Thankfulness is the only appropriate response to a God whose lovingkindness we wake up to each and every morning, and whose faithfulness we can sing of night after night.
Being Thankful Leads Us to Joy
Psalm 16:11 tells us that in God’s presence there is fullness of joy. So how do we get into God’s presence?
It can be all too easy to wake up in the morning and immediately begin to focus on our problems or the long list of things we need to get done. This doesn’t make for a very joyful day.
Being Thankful is God’s Will for Us
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 tells us this: “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”
I often used to ponder what the will of God was for my life. Well, this verse takes the mystery right out of that! God’s will for me is to be the kind of person who rejoices - a lot – in fact, in every circumstance! To be someone who abides in communion with God, in whose presence there is fullness of joy.
