Give Thanks To The Lord, For He Is Good
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good. His love endures forever. Give thanks to the God of gods. His love
endures forever. Give
thanks to the Lord of lords: His love endures forever.
To him who alone does great wonders, His
love endures forever. Who by his
understanding made the heavens, His love endures forever.
Who spread out the earth upon the
waters, His love endures forever.
Who made the great lights—His love
endures forever.
The sun to govern the day, His love
endures forever.
The moon and stars to govern the night; His
love endures forever.
Psalm 136: 1-9
Nature
is never wasted. It daily displays the truth, goodness, and beauty of the One
who brought it into being. Every day nature offers a new and fresh declaration
of God’s glory. Do I see Him through that beauty, or do I merely glance at it
and shrug it off in indifference?
All
nature declares the beauty of the One who made it. Our response can be worship,
adoration, and thanksgiving – for the radiance of the cornflower, the splendor
of a morning sunshine, the symmetry of one particular
tree.
A
trickling waterfall, the wind in the willows, a baby robin, a tiny flower, Why
not begin your thankfulness with this?
God is the beauty behind all beauty.
