A group of talented youngsters turned in a moving and emotional performance, singing a song about thanking the good Lord for His countless blessings.
Most people are blessed beyond measure and do not have any room to complain. God consistently meets and fulfills our basic needs. In fact, He usually goes above and beyond those needs, even delivering a fair amount of those wants and desires on top of those needs. He is a good, faithful and loving Lord.
Thanksgiving is a terrific opportunity to stop and praise the Lord for all He has done, is doing and will do in our lives. Yes, the path forward and destination ahead can appear murky and unclear at times. However, God is always there, delivering blessings and meeting our needs.
In a clip posted on YouTube, a children’s choir sang a song of praise and worship, “Thankful.” The song’s beautiful lyrics help put life into perspective, forcing listeners to stop and consider how much the Lord has blessed and touched their lives.
“For every good thing that I have comes from God
Every day, every hour
There are blessings He sends without number or end
If I counted a hundred or a thousand, I’m sure
There would still be more”
In life, it’s easy to complain about what we’re lacking. Most people concentrate on what they do not have instead of what they have been blessed with and graciously given. This is something that everyone walking on the face of the earth is guilty of doing.
However, no one particularly likes someone constantly asking for this or that. Everyone would do well to adopt an attitude of gratefulness, especially toward God and all He has done and continues to do.
Even during life’s many trials and hardships, God is still loving and faithful and works to provide for and meet our needs. He pours out His blessings on those who love and follow Him.
Isaiah 44:3 “For I will send water on the land needing it, and streams on the dry earth: I will let my spirit come down on your seed, and my blessing on your offspring.”
