Read Psalm 107:8
We often focus on what is lacking in life, yet God gives us so much to be thankful for. If we complained less and praised more, we would be happier, and God would be glorified. Every day, we can thank Him for the simple blessings we often take for granted: the gift of sight to see the world, strength to walk, food to eat, clothing to wear, freedom, family, friends, and the comforts of life. These common mercies are truly priceless.
But the highest reason for our praise is God’s redeeming love. He has rescued us from the power of sin, lifted us from despair, and made us His children through Christ. Our guilt has been forgiven, our chains broken, and we are promised a future with Him, spotless and glorified. Even now, by faith, we can celebrate this redemption and rejoice in the hope of eternal life.
Let our hearts overflow with gratitude. Do not keep silent, child of God! Begin this new season with new songs of praise, thanking Him for His goodness, His love, and His wonderful works in your life.
Reflection for Today
Am I noticing and thanking God for both the everyday blessings and the gift of salvation in my life?
Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your countless blessings—both big and small. Thank You for redeeming me through Jesus Christ and making me Your child. Help me to live with a heart of gratitude, praising You for Your goodness each day. May my life reflect Your love, and may my lips never tire of singing Your praises. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Bp. Paul Solomon Maglaya
