Serve the LORD with gladness;
Come before His presence with singing.
Know that the LORD, He is God.
It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves.
We are His people and the sheep of his pasture.
Enter into His gates with thanksgiving,
And into His courts with praise.
Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.
For the LORD is good;
His mercy is everlasting,
And His truth endures to all generations.
Psalm 100, NKJV
Indeed, the LORD is good. He's the goodest of good. He's better than anything that has ever been, better than anything that will ever be. He's the ultimate definitive of everything that is right and holy and perfect and good. He's good for me, He's good to me, He's better to me than I've been to myself. He is the giver of good and perfect gifts. In me there is nothing good that dwells; my righteousness is as garbage compared to His. But the Spirit of Christ in me has made me the righteousness of God. I will never, in and of myself, be as good as God. But when I stand in Him forgiven, I stand in Him complete!
Today, I'm thankful for the goodness of God in providing for my needs, the ones I know about, and the ones I didn't know I had.
I'm thankful for the goodness of God in giving me people who love me, and for giving me people to love.
I'm thankful for answered prayer--one very specific request that was answered immediately tonight for someone else! God still answers prayer!
What are you thankful for today?
