God is incredible. He is on time. He is holy. He is righteous. He is faithful.
I give thanks because He moves mountains. He is a powerful God, and there is nothing that can compare to His love, His grace, and His mercy. “Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” 1 Thessalonians 5:18
I give thanks because He is worthy of praise. I give thanks for His closeness, His peace that surpasses all understanding, and His wisdom. I give thanks for His gentleness, for the way He loves me, and for His promise to never leave me or forsake me; and He never has. “Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name.” Psalm 100:4
I give thanks because He is my everything, my light and shining armor, my Jehovah Jireh, God my provider, my Jehovah Rapha, God my healer, my Jehovah Nissi, God my banner and victory. We serve a holy God. The thought of His love brings tears to my eyes, just witnessing His glory in my life. I can look back on all the times He saved me, rescued me, restored me, delivered me, and empowered me. “Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for mankind.” Psalm 107:8
I am strong because of Him. I am weak, but He gives me strength like no other. His love is deeper than a mothers love. When I cry out to Him, He hears me. He is my provider and my best friend. He has never abandoned me. He has never rejected me. He is patient with me, and His love covers me. His Word convicts me and leads me out of darkness. His angels camp around me and keep me protected behind His shield of grace. “Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever.” Psalm 107:1
This is why I give thanks. So today I lift my hands and give God thanks.
Thank you Jesus for setting me free. Thank you Jesus for delivering me. Thank you for my testimony. Thank you for being my everything. Lord, you are amazing. Father God, thank you for the victory, for your endless unfailing love, for being our lighthouse in the storm, and for being our reason to worship, which is like a sweet melody to our souls.
