The Overflow of Thanks


What a beautiful thing, God, to give thanks, to sing an anthem to you, the High God!


Psalm 92:1 (The Message)


We thank you, God, we thank you—your name is our favorite word; your mighty works are all we talk about.

Psalm 75:1 (The Message)


You thrill me, Lord, with all you have done for me! I sing for joy because of what you have done.

Psalm 92:4 (NLT)


Let your lives overflow with thanksgiving for all he has done.

Colossians 2:7b (NLT)


When something works … it works. When something is obviously right … we all know it. When something is ordained by God … it endures.


This is why Thanksgiving is so special to me; and that’s why it’s my favorite holiday. Thanksgiving is one of the few celebrations we Americans avoid commercializing. It remains true to us and we remain true to it. And while it strikes deep into the heart and soul of my faith, anyone can give thanks, and on this day, most do.

What a wonderful thing! What a beautiful thing—to let our thanksgiving flow!


Father, thank You for this opportunity to appreciate the deep and meaningful blessings You bring our way. Help me give thanks each and every day! Amen.
