Gratitude & Praise
Scripture
“I will give thee thanks in the great congregation: I will praise thee among much people.”
— Psalm 35:18 (KJV)
Reflection
Bless the Lord, O my soul. Psalm 35:18 invites us to choose praise: "I will give thee thanks in the…" Sometimes praise rises easily; sometimes it must be chosen against the grain of our mood. Both are good. Today, even if the day feels heavy, find one true thing about God and praise Him for it. Gratitude is not pretending; it is remembering.
Prayer
Lord, I bless Your name today. You are good, and Your mercy endures forever. Amen.
