Give Thanks…For God is Good

Scripture: Psalm 107:1 “Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever!”

Devotional: Psalm 107 opens with a call, almost a shout, to give thanks. Not because life is easy. Not because everything has gone our way. We give thanks because God is good. His goodness is not situational, emotional, or seasonal. It is who He is. And His steadfast love does not fluctuate with our successes or our failures. It endures. It holds. It remains when nothing else feels steady.

Thanksgiving begins with remembering who God is before we consider anything He has done. Gratitude grows when we start with His character. Even if your circumstances feel thinner than usual or heavier than you would like, God’s goodness is still the solid foundation under your feet.

Reflection: Where have you seen the steady goodness of God in your life, quietly and consistently, even when you were not looking for it?

Prayer Direction: Thank God simply for who He is. Let your prayer be a settling of the heart rather than a list of needs or requests.
