31 DAYS OF THANKS

READ:
Psalm 136:1-16,26

O give thanks to the Lord of lords: for his mercy endureth for ever.
-Psalm 136:3

THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
Genesis 1-3
Matthew 1

January, according to many US calendars, is National Thank You Month. This, of course, is easily transferable everywhere, so perhaps it should be Global Thank You Month.
In order to make the best use of this celebration of gratitude, let's begin by seeing what Scripture says about thankfulness.
One place to start is Psalm 136, which begins with and ends with words, "Oh, give thanks" (vv.1,26). Again and again in this chapter we are reminded of a single, overriding reason to bestow our gratitude on our great God: "His mercy endures forever." We could spend the whole month learning gratitude from Psalm 136.
The psalmist reminds us of God's "great wonders" (v.4). He tells us of God's creative work brought on by His wisdom (v.5). He moves on to rehearse the great exodus of His people (vv.10-22). As we think through these scriptures of creation and deliverance found in Psalm 136, we can easily find something to thank God for every day of this Thank You Month.
What better way to start off a new year than to concentrate on conveying gratitude to our Lord! "Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever" (v.1). - Dave Branon
How good it is to thank the Lord,
And praise to Thee, Most High, accord,
To show Thy love with morning light,
And tell Thy faithfulness each night! - Psalter

When you think of all that's good, give thanks to God.

The essence of the anointing of God in your life is not for show but for service. Service is a fundamental aspect of leadership.
