Verse of the Day

"Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good, for His steadfast love endures forever.  Give thanks to the God of gods, for His steadfast love endures forever.  Give thanks to the Lord of lords, for His steadfast love endures forever; to Him who alone does great wonders, for His steadfast love endures forever; to Him Who by understanding made the heaves, for His steadfast love endures forever; to Him Who spread out the earth above the waters, for His steadfast love endures forever; to Him Who made the great lights, for His steadfast love endures forever; the sun to rule over the day, for His steadfast love endures forever; the moon and stars to rule over the night, for His steadfast love endures forever; to Him Who struck down the firstborn of Egypt, for His steadfast love endures forever; and brought Israel out from among them, for His steadfast love endures forever; with a strong hand and an outstretched arm, for His steadfast love endures forever; to Him Who divided the Red Sea in two, for His steadfast love endures forever; and made Israel pass through the midst of it, for His steadfast love endures forever; but overthrew Pharaoh and his host in the Red Sea, for His steadfast love endures forever; to Him Who led His people through the wilderness, for His steadfast love endures forever; to Him Who struck down great kings, for His steadfast love endures forever; and killed mighty kings, for His steadfast love endures forever; Sihon, king of the Amorites, for His steadfast love endures forever; and Og, king of Bashan, for His steadfast love endures forever; and gave their land as a heritage, for His steadfast love endures forever; a heritage to Israel His servant, for His steadfast love endures forever.  It is He Who remembered us in our low estate, for His steadfast love endures forever; and rescued us from our foes, for His steadfast love endures forever; He Who gives food to all flesh, for His steadfast love endures forever.  Give thanks to the God of Heaven, for His steadfast love endures forever." ~ Psalm 136:1-26 ESV

And yes, I decided to break away from sharing all of the Psalms in order since Psalm 136 is all about giving thanks.  And what holiday is today?  Thanksgiving ~ the holiday especially meant to be thankful.  Today was supposed to be Psalm 17, but that will come tomorrow.  One thing that I find very strange and disturbing is that today is Thanksgiving, but tomorrow, many people will be spending their day shopping for more things on Black Friday!  Why would you want to have that day follow a day about being thankful for what you do have?  So let's be sure to be thankful for what we do have today, and hopefully for all the days to come without taking the things we do have for granted.
