I recently heard a song entitled “This is How I Thank the Lord.” Here are some of the words:

I don't have enough words I'll never live enough lifetimes To fully know Your worth To know all that You deserve All of my deceptions All of my duplicity Now there is no record You assume the best of me

And this is why I thank the Lord for saving me When I was weak, so I will sing This is why I thank the Lord for everything And this is why I thank the Lord

After I heard the song, I listened to it for a while. When I think of all that God has done it makes me want to praise the Lord. When I think what I bring to the table, it really makes me want to praise the Lord. Each of us had nothing to offer, yet God in His great love sent His Son to die for our sins. Thankfully, God could see what we could not. So I want to list a few reasons why we should thank the Lord. He has a hope and a future mapped out for us. He has a plan for our lives and our families. He helps us and hears us when we pray and call on Him. He fills us with the same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead. He comes through for us when we face hardships and difficulties. These are just a few reasons why I thank the Lord. Let’s take time this month to stay in a state of thanksgiving and gratitude for all God does for us.
