Give Thanks

Psalm 92:1-9

The Message

A Sabbath Song

92 1-3 What a beautiful thing, God, to give thanks,
    to sing an anthem to you, the High God!
To announce your love each daybreak,
    sing your faithful presence all through the night,
Accompanied by dulcimer and harp,
    the full-bodied music of strings.
4-9 You made me so happy, God
    I saw your work and I shouted for joy.
How magnificent your work, God!
    How profound your thoughts!
Dullards never notice what you do;
    fools never do get it.
When the wicked popped up like weeds
    and all the evil men and women took over,
You mowed them down,
    finished them off once and for all.
You, God, are High and Eternal.
    Look at your enemies, God!
Look at your enemies—ruined!
    Scattered to the winds, all those hirelings of evil!

For Reflection
If God is an integral part of your life, you might be vulnerable to taking God for granted. How often do you acknowledge that God is the moving force driving your life?  How often do you see God's hand in making the way plain.  How often do you look at the beauty in this world and assign it to God? 

Pray
and sing songs of praise to God.  Pray small one line prayers each day thanking God for His grace and blessings.
