A Lifestyle of thankfulness
Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name. For the LORD is good; His mercy is everlasting, And His truth endures to all generations.
— Psalm 100:4-5
As we enter a new year, let’s clothe ourselves with thanksgiving. I say “clothe ourselves” because thankfulness should not be an occasional practice—it should be our daily outfit. The Apostle Paul taught us to “…in everything give thanks…” and added that “…this is God’s will for you…” (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18).
I believe thankfulness is the right attitude to have when stepping into a new year, and I also believe it’s the right attitude to start every new day. You may wonder why. Well, Psalm 100:4–5 gives us three great reasons: [1] because the Lord is good, [2] because His mercy is everlasting, and [3] because His truth endures for all generations.
Will there be challenges in the year ahead? Yes—quite possibly many. But notice that Paul doesn’t say to be thankful for everything, but rather in everything. No matter what happens around us, some truths will remain: our almighty God is both good and merciful. Think about it—being almighty, good, and merciful is a powerful combination.
