I love to spend time with the Lord each morning.  That is why I called my daily devotional, Good Morning, God!  I feel as if He is sitting right beside me as I read His Word and pray.  As I was praying this morning I was overcome with a feeling of joy and thanksgiving.  God placed on my heart the fact that all is well in my world.  I am so incredibly blessed.  I give thanks always.

I thanked God for this because I know it will not always be that way.  People get sick; finances can fail; tragedies happen.  At these times we feel the sorrow and hurt.  This is when we really fall to our knees and pray.

I am reminded of Psalm 107:1

“Give thanks to the Lord for He is good; His love endures forever.”

We are eternally blessed by the love of the Lord.  We should begin each day with a song of praise and thanksgiving to Him.   If we do this, it will fill our hearts with His joy.

I pray the next time you find yourself in a state of woe that you will remember Psalm 107:1.  Think of the goodness of the Lord and His incredible love for you.  You are a child of the Most High God.  He is ever with you and ever holding you in Him arms.  How can we be forlorn with this in mind?

Give thanks always

Let’s not wait for the next calamity to befall us before we fall to our knees in prayer.  God wants to commune with us each day.  Nothing makes Him happier than to have His children give thanks for all He has done.  He will continue to bless you no matter in what circumstance you may find yourself.  Give thanks to the Lord; His love endures forever!
