Giving Thanks Is Good For Us
David shares in Psalms 92:1-2 ,
"It is GOOD to give thanks to the Lord, to sing praises to the Most High. It is GOOD to proclaim your unfailing love in the morning, your faithfulness in the evening,"
We know we need to be mindful to give "thanks" to the Lord, but have we ever considered, as David said, that it is "good"? What does that mean?
Not only is it "good" to show our appreciation to the Lord, but it is also "good" for our own well-being. A heart of thankfulness fosters our good health... physically, emotionally and spiritually... as our focus is redirected.
Solomon wrote in Proverbs 15:13,
"A glad heart makes a happy face."
Giving "thanks" to the Lord,
-Directs our mind toward the positive thoughts
-Directs our eyes UPWARD toward eternity rather than temporal matters
-Directs our heart outward, away from ourselves, as we GIVE our gratitude
Thankfulness turns around our whole mindset and our perspective about situations to the positive. It directs our mind towards the Lord, reminding us that all is from Him and not from ourselves. And reminds us that He is our solution, our rescuer, our Rock, our salvation, and our victory. And this is why David wrote that it is "good" to give thanks to the Lord.
Let us finish with David's words in Psalms 100:1-5,
"Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth. Worship the Lord with gladness; come before him with joyful songs. Know that the Lord is God. It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.”
