Psalm 100:1-5
A psalm. For giving grateful praise.
1 Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth.
2 Worship the Lord with gladness;
come before him with joyful songs.
3 Know that the Lord is God.
It is he who made us, and we are his;
we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving
and his courts with praise;
give thanks to him and praise his name.
5 For the Lord is good and his love endures forever;
his faithfulness continues through all generations.
We find much goodness and thankfulness in the Book of Psalms...Let us give thanks to God and praise His Name...For the LORD is good and His LOVE endures forever; His faithfulness continues through all generations...Let God grant us grace and bless us; let God make His Face shine on us, so that Your ways become known on earth, so that Your salvation becomes known among all the nations...Know that the LORD is God — He made us; we belong to Him...We are His people, the sheep of His own pasture...Praise the LORD!...You who serve the LORD—praise!...Praise the Lord’s name!...Let the LORD's Name be blessed from now until forever from now!...From sunrise to sunset, let the LORD's Name be praised!...The LORD is high over all the nations; God’s Glory is higher than the skies!...I will give thanks to the LORD because of His righteousness; I will sing the Name of the LORD Most High...I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart...I will recount all your wonderful deeds...
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want...He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters...He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake...Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for Thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me...Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over...Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever...
Author Philip Yancey says this about the good in this world and how we should have gratitude....What I see in the Bible, especially in the book of Psalms, which is a book of gratitude for the created world, is a recognition that all good things on Earth are God's, every good gift is from above...They are good if we recognize where they came from and if we treat them the way the Designer intended them to be treated...
