Some reasons for giving thanks
Though it’s an American holiday, there is something to being reminded to be thankful.
Here are some reasons from Psalm 111. ESV, of course.
1 Praise the Lord!
I
will give thanks to the Lord with my whole
heart,
in the company of the upright, in the
congregation.
2 Great are the
works of the Lord,
studied by all who delight in them.
3 Full of splendor and majesty is his work,
and his righteousness endures forever.
4 He has caused his wondrous works to be
remembered;
the Lord
is gracious and merciful.
5 He
provides food for those who fear him;
he remembers
his covenant forever.
6 He has
shown his people the power of his works,
in giving
them the inheritance of the nations.
7 The works of his hands are faithful and just;
all his precepts are trustworthy;
8 they are established forever and ever,
to be performed with faithfulness and uprightness.
9 He sent redemption to his
people;
he has commanded his covenant
forever.
Holy and awesome is his name!
10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;
all those who practice it have a good
understanding.
His praise endures
forever!
