Why do we thank God?


Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever. 
Give thanks to the God of gods. His faithful love endures forever.
Give thanks to the Lord of lords. His faithful love endures forever.
Give thanks to him who alone does mighty miracles. His faithful love endures forever. Psalm 136: 1-4 NLT 

Why do we thank God?

Is it because God has done something for us -- given us a family, food on the table or a place to live?

Is it because God has healed, saved or changed lives in our immediate family or friends?

Is it because God is bigger than all our problems and God is the one who is really in control?

Or perhaps we are thanking God because that is what we are to do on the fourth Thursday in November. 

The psalmist thanks God because God’s faithful love endures forever. 

God, your faithful love endures forever. Thank you. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
