Thursday

ood morning to you!

"Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever."

Psalm 118:1 (and 118:29)

This verse brackets the beginning and end of Psalm 118, encapsulating the psalmist's personal experiences of God's goodness and faithful love in his life. Between the brackets he mentions not just high points of his life, when God clearly delivered him, but also a few low spots as well. He has been punished severely (verse 18), and is still waiting to be saved, still looking for success (verse 25). Yet, his overall experience is gratitude. Though your life may not yet be perfect, when you focus on God's grace in your life, it will color every other experience, past and present.
