A Psalm for Thanksgiving

1 A Psalm for Thanksgiving.
Shout joyfully to the LORD, all the earth.
2 Serve the LORD with gladness;
Come before Him with joyful singing.
3 Know that the LORD Himself is God;
It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves;
We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.
4 Enter His gates with thanksgiving
And His courts with praise.
Give thanks to Him, bless His name.
5 For the LORD is good;
His lovingkindness is everlasting
And His faithfulness to all generations (Psa 100).
Human beings, by their sin nature, are prone to ungratefulness (Rom 1:21). All of us suffer from it. So maybe today, without requiring an official "Thanksgiving Day", perhaps we can "Enter His gates with thanksgiving," and "Give thanks to Him." You know, just as part of worship. It would be a good practice on a daily basis, but we can start with just one, can't we?
