The Heart of Psalm 138: Gratitude and God's Faithfulness

Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and it's a time to express our gratitude!
While we often think of Thanksgiving as the family holiday when we stuff our faces with delicious food, the word “Thanksgiving” goes deeper, and in fact, higher. Thanksgiving is another way of saying “God did that. God gets the glory.”
Gratitude makes much of God because it shows (1) that God is the author of all that is good and (2) that we love the Giver more than the gifts.
In this episode, I break down Psalm 138, where David reminds us to praise the Lord for who He is and His providential care over our lives. When we offer thanks, we're acknowledging that He is Lord and in control.
Let's make it our goal to magnify God's glory in our lives because He is the author of every good gift in our lives. Tune in for more on David’s pattern of praise that we can also use to grow in gratitude this Thanksgiving season.
