1 It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High: 2To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night,
It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord and to sing praises to His name. When we take the time to thank God for all that He has done, two things happen. First of all, we acknowledge God for all the good He has done in our lives. The second aspect of thanksgiving is that it opens the door for God to bless us even more. As we are thankful, He is able to do even more for us, which gives us reason to be more thankful.
David makes a statement that deserves our full attention. He writes that we are to "show forth our loving kindness in the morning and our faithfulness every night." When we look to the Lord in the morning, our day has a better chance of being characterized by faithfulness at the end of the day. in fact, the only way we can find faithfulness in our lives is to start our day in the right way. The truth is there is no better way to live our lives than by walking with God, in the morning, in the afternoon and in the evening.
God wants our lives to be filled with His loving kindness. He wants us to be all that He has created us to be. He knows what we need and He knows what it is going to take to make our lives complete. The only real joy in life comes when we allow His will and His way to be our way. There can be no exceptions. When we refuse to follow His leadership and His guide, we lose and our lives suffer. God wants us to look to Him and allow His loving kindness to make a difference in the choices we make in our daily lives. When we do, He is able to direct our steps and guide our lives and make our lives all that He wants them to be.
Faith is believing that God is everything that He says He is and that He will do everything that He says He will do. His loving kindness toward us proves His involvement in our lives, giving us every reason to trust Him. Look to His loving kindness in the morning. Live for Him as your day unfolds.
