September 22 A Grateful Heart - Psalms 97:12
"Rejoice in the Lord, ye righteous and give thanks to his holy name."
One of the first things that we teach our children is to say please and thank you. Those lessons in manners still apply. We need to have grateful hearts and learn to be more thankful for all of His blessings.
I know this is hard to believe, but when I went to the public school we memorized scripture. When I was in the first grade, we learned Psalms 100 . It began "Make a joyful noise unto the Lord"...which was good news for a girl like me who could not sing. The forth verse was, "Enter into his gates with thanksgiving and into His courts with praise; be thankful unto Him and bless His name."
Thanksgiving is more than just a holiday the third Thursday in November. It is a lifestyle that is pleasing to the Lord.
Pray that we all learn to see God in the little things and the big things of life and give Him the Glory.
Thank you Jesus.
