21 Days of Celebrationಮಾದರಿ

Day 9

“Thank you! Everything in me says “Thank you!” Angels listen as I sing my thanks. I kneel in worship facing your holy temple and say it again: “Thank you!” Thank you for your love, thank you for your faithfulness; Most holy is your name, most holy is your Word. The moment I called out, you stepped in; you made my life large with strength.”

Psalm 138:1-3 MSG

Question:

When you reflect on your life, what moment stands out where your total gratitude was on display?

Application: 

This phrasing of Psalm 138:1–3 is a brilliant demonstration of a heart filled with gratitude and celebration, directed to the source of life. The Psalmist honours God with his thanksgiving to such an extent that it can seem almost awkward how many times the expression appears. However, this example of unashamed praise should not remain simply writing on a page, or on a device, but become a life lesson of gratitude in celebration, replicated through cultivation in our lives as we abandon restrictions and practice openness to give the praise God deserves.

Prayer: 

Holy Spirit, teach me to lay down any distraction and consciousness of what others may think in order that I may learn to freely celebrate all that you are, with gratitude. Amen
