Let There Be Thanks

“I give you thanks, O LORD, with my whole heart; before the gods I sing your praise.” Psalm 138:1

Thanksgiving Day Minute
November 24, 2022

Seems like a strange twist to say “before the gods.” Thanksgiving in the midst of idol worshiping surroundings. David pours out his heart in praise to God for answering his prayer (vv. 1-3). The idols of this world that are paraded before us don’t answer prayers because they are nothings. There is only one true God. The only true thanksgiving is what is offered to the Lord God in heaven above. Take time today to thank God for answered prayer. Is there something the Lord has done in your life in answer to your prayers for which you can thank Him? God answers our prayers in different ways: Yes, no, not right now, in surprising ways that we may have missed. We’ve been told to ask, seek, and knock (Matt. 7:7-8). Praise God from whom all answered prayers come!
Happy Thanksgiving!
