3 good reasons to be thankful 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 Psalm 100:4–5 gives us three good reasons to be thankful: [1] The Lord is good, [2] His mercy is everlasting, and [3] His truth endures to all generations. We can be very thankful that the almighty God is good, because if He were almighty and evil, that would be a terrible scenario. The fact that the Lord is good means He has good plans for you (Jer 29:11). And when someone who is both good and almighty is on your side, the future looks bright. But perhaps you say to yourself, “I don’t deserve God’s goodness.” Well, that’s where the second truth comes in—His mercy is everlasting. Being good and almighty is already a great combination, but being good, almighty, and merciful is amazing. God wants to show you His goodness, not because you deserve it, but because He is good and merciful. Finally, there’s no need to worry about this ever changing, because the third reason to be thankful is that His truth endures to all generations. As James writes, “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning” (Jam 1:17). #thankfulness
