Today is Thanksgiving. It took me a long time to learn that this day is about much more than football, turkey, and pecan pie.

I like the way it is put in Psalm 118:1: “Oh give thanks to the Lord…” Why should we give thanks? The whole verse goes like this:

“Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
for his steadfast love endures forever!”

Our starting place for giving thanks to God should always be who He is. Only then do we move to what He’s done. This verse tells us two simple but profound truths about who God is: He is good, and His love endures forever. Let this fuel great thanks in our hearts toward God!

What is it about who God is that you want to thank Him for today?
