How often do you go to God with requests in your prayer times? How often do you simply offer thanks to God for whatever you can think of? Is our prayer times used to be filled with requests for God to do things for me and for others? While reading the Psalms, let's take a different route in prayer by starting out each day thanking God for whatever you could think of. You will discover that there are more things to be thankful for than you ever realized before. You will also discover that looking for what you can be thankful for increases your own sensitivity and recognition of God's hand in the situations of your life. 1 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever. 2 Let the redeemed of the LORD say this— those he redeemed from the hand of the foe, 8 Let them give thanks to the LORD for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for men, 9 for he satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things. Psalms 107 This Psalm reveals a particular aspect of God that we can all be thankful for. God "satisfies the longing soul and fills the hungry soul with goodness." That is an awesome statement, isn't it? How many times have we tried to fill the longings of our soul with wealth, or knowledge, or success in our school or work? Those things will never bring fulfillment because our hunger is a spiritual need that only God can satisfy. Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good. He has redeemed us from the hand of the enemy and fills our soul with goodness! Questions for further thought: What does it mean to make sacrifices of thanksgiving? How much time have you spent thanking God each day during your quiet times? What can you do to incorporate giving thanks during your quiet times? Take a moment to jot down all the things you can thank God for today. Look forward to!: As mentioned by Pastor, 21-22 November will be the dates for FIRE CONFERENCE '08.
