Not All Days Are Like This!

MAY 15, 2024

Sing to the Lord with thanksgiving.
Psalm 147:7

 Recommended Reading: Psalm 147

Alexander Whyte, a famous Scottish preacher, was known by his people as a man who was very optimistic and positive. He always prayed and devoted the first two or three sentences of his prayer to gratitude and thanksgiving to God.

On one particularly miserable Sunday in his church, about ninety percent of the congregation could not even get to the service because the weather was so bad. Rain, snow, wind, and ice were howling around the church. Dr. Whyte got up to pray, and his people wondered what he could possibly say that would be positive in his prayer that day.

“We thank Thee, O Lord,” he prayed, “that it is not always like it is today.” 

Perhaps you’re having trouble feeling thankful today. Regardless of your circumstances and mood, you can lighten your heart today—and bless God’s heart—by developing your own personal thanksgiving prayer. Make a mental list. Think of things for which you’ve never before expressed gratitude.

Thanksgiving is a great antidote for self-pity, and it’s an effective cure for the blues!

Count your blessings, name them one by one; and it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.
Johnson Oatman, Jr.
