SONGS OF PRAISE

EVERYDAY IS THANKSGIVING

The national Thanksgiving Day has passed and we honor the heritage. However, for the children of God everyday is a Thanksgiving Day!

Psalm 69:30 (KJV)

I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving.

You may be overwhelmed with life's circumstances right now, and the least you want to do is to thank God. Perhaps you may feel He doesn't love you or is responsible for your loss, pain or affliction. I suggest that you stop now and reflect over your life. Get a piece of paper and list the things that God has done. I assure you that by the 4th or 5th thing your heart will begin to give thanks at the amazing and miraculous things that he has done!

TODAY'S FOCUS: A SONG OF THANKSGIVING

Song writers have written songs of their experiences, journeys an desires. Many have written about God's mercy, love and compassion. I don't think of anyone who understands it like David as he wrote and sang in the Psalms.

Psalms 86:13 (KJV)

For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou has delivered my soul from the lowest hell.

God has done so much for you. Words at times cannot express your gratitude. However, many times a song can express your experience and your love to a faithful God. Today I would like to ask what song that speaks to your heart in Thanksgiving?

What effect does a song of praise do for you?

Explain why it speaks to you?

Remember, God requires that we give Him praise, which is the fruit of our lips continually. In the good times and the bad times, praise Him with a song and magnify Him with a grateful heart. Be thankful for what you have and what you would like to have- Praising Him in advance will release your request to you.

God Bless You and Keep the Faith!
