Thanksgiving is the doorway into God's presence. The psalmist invites us to come before God not first with complaints or requests, but with gratitude. Why? Because gratitude reminds us who God is. He is good. His love endures. His faithfulness continues. When we approach God with thanksgiving, we acknowledge His track record and character. This posture changes how we pray, how we see our lives, and how we move through the world. As we prepare for Thanksgiving week, we will practice gratitude as worship and trust God to meet us in our praise.
