This Thanksgiving Day many will not feel very thankful. Life this past year has been hard & cruel for them with little to rejoice about. But if we look at this Psalm, it’s an emphatic declaration of thanks…an attitude of gratitude that enables us to look at what we have, instead of what we don’t. And when we genuinely rejoice in thanksgiving to God for what’s there, not what isn’t, it can take us from pain to praise…from anguish to appreciation…from distress to delight…and from misery to magnification of His holy Name.
