Season of Thanks: Day 1 - Psalm 100



READ THE PASSAGE ALOUD (TWICE)
Psalm 100
1Let the whole earth shout triumphantly to the Lord!
2Serve the Lord with gladness;
come before him with joyful songs.
3Acknowledge that the Lord is God.
He made us, and we are his—
his people, the sheep of his pasture.
4Enter his gates with thanksgiving
and his courts with praise.
Give thanks to him and bless his name.
5For the Lord is good, and his faithful love endures forever;
his faithfulness, through all generations.

In what way(s) does this passage show us how to give thanks?

GOD'S GOODNESS
It may be difficult to consider how to give thanks during this season. Often, we don’t know what we should be thankful for. Psalm 100 is a psalm of thanksgiving that speaks of timeless truths and the wonderful and everlasting attributes of the Lord for which we can be thankful. The passage reminds us that the Lord is our Creator and we are His people. He is a good God, and His love and faithfulness endure forever throughout all generations. We may not always remember to give thanks to God, and often when we do, it is because He has blessed us in some way or, perhaps, He has answered our prayers. These are definitely times for thanksgiving. 

Reflect upon God’s goodness in your life:
  - Life and Heath
  - Food and Housing
  - Opportunities for Education
  - Family
  - Communication with Him
  - His Word to us

Other reasons may come to mind to give thanks to Him. We know His goodness to us is not limited to these things, rather, His goodness is more abundant than we could imagine. He is good to us, because He Himself is good. It is His nature to be Good. The passage instructs us to give thanks to God and bless His name for He is good, and his faithful love endures forever. No matter the season in life, His faithful love endures forever. Therefore, we can always give thanks to the Lord!
