Daily Bible Reading – November 2023, God’s Saving Word: Praise and ThanksgivingSample
November 17
Introduction
Psalm 116: The psalm writer thanks and praises God for being delivered from danger and death and vows to offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving.
Today’s Key Verse: Psalm 116:5
The LORD is merciful and good; our God is compassionate.
Reflect
Sacrifices of thanksgiving were offered to God to express thanks for God’s deliverance or help and in recognition that God is the source of blessings and provider of good things. The worshiper would bring an animal or grain as an offering, sometimes in conjunction with a specific vow. How does the psalm writer express thanks to God? What does the psalm writer promise? Have you ever made promises to God? If so, what were they? In what ways can you offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving to God?
Pray
Compassionate and merciful God, you hear me when I call out to you and you listen to my prayers. When I walk in your presence, I know that I am in your care. With a thankful heart, I praise you for your steadfast goodness and love. Amen.
Tomorrow’s Reading
Psalm 118: A prayer of thanksgiving for victory.
