Isaiah 12:4
And on that day you will say, “Give thanks to the LORD, call on His name. Make known His deeds among the peoples’; make them remember that His name is exalted.

You have an opportunity every day to tell people about what God’s done in your life. Because your experience with God is unlike anyone else’s experience with God so it needs to be shared. Who knows, you might just end up causing people to give thanks to the LORD for what He’s one in their own lives.

Psalm 95:1-2
O come, let us sing to the LORD! Let us shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation. Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving; let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms.

When you come before the Maker of Heaven and Earth, how can you not worship Him for all that He’s accomplished? From the most complex aspects of life like DNA to the meticulous creativity of each animal that He’s created. He has given us everything we need for this life and the one to come! If that makes you thankful, then shout for joy to the LORD today!

Colossians 3:15
Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.

When peace rules in your heart, you’re not angry about that person that just cut you off on the highway, you’re thankful. Thankful that no one was hurt, that God created that person in their mother’s womb, and thankful to God that you’ve been given an opportunity to pray for that person. When peace rules in your heart, so does life.

Chronicles 29:13
Now therefore, our God, we thank You and praise Your glorious name.

Praise God often. If all the Psalms could be broken down into just 3 words, these 3 would be it. Because it’s what we were made to do. To praise the King of kings and the Lord of lords and to remind ourselves and others that no matter what’s happening in our lives, He is still worthy of our praise and worship. So, if you haven’t done it yet today, you can start giving Him that praise right now.

Philemon 1:7
Your love has given me great joy and encouragement, because you, brother, have refreshed the hearts of the Lord’s people.

During each missionary journey, Paul learned how vital it was to surround yourself with the Body of Christ. It’s those people who refresh your hearts by giving you the encouragement, help, along with the much-needed prayers you especially covet. How can you give that refreshment to your brothers and sisters in Christ today?

Isaiah 35:10
And those the LORD has rescued will return. They will enter Zion with singing; everlasting joy will crown their heads. Gladness and joy will overtake them, and sorrow and sighing will flee away.

Judgement and redemption. The two walk hand in hand when you read the Book of Isaiah. As a good Father, God could not and would not allow Israel to go punished for their continual disobedience to His word. And yet, because of His great love for His people, He could not let justice have the last word. That’s why God also gave His people a picture of redemption by promising them a bright future.
