Gratitude and His Goodness
Nov 23, 2025
Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. For the LORD is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.
Psalm 100:4-5 (NIV)
Our reading today enlightens us to the importance of entering God's gates with a heart overflowing with gratitude. A heart that harbors gratitude is the shrine where joy springs from. It's essential to take a moment in our busy lives to acknowledge the blessings we often fail to notice. Each breath, each day, every loved one is evidence of God's love.
Today's verse encourages us to trumpet our thanksgiving loudly; not as an obligation, but a joyful proclamation of recognition and appreciation for His unending mercy and boundless love towards us. In this spirit of gratitude, we enter His gates and find ourselves in His divine presence.
The scripture reading also assures us of the constancy of God's character. It speaks of His unwavering faithfulness that transcends generations. Our God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. His love remains steadfast throughout ages, and His faithfulness is everlasting.
Today’s Prayer:
Dear Lord, Thank you for inspiring us to approach Your holy presence with thanksgiving and praise. Please fill our hearts with deep gratitude, not only for the visible blessings but for Your unseen hand that always holds us up. Help us to fully absorb the truth of Your eternal goodness and everlasting faithfulness. We pray this in the precious name of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.
