Ecclesiastes 5:19
Moreover, when God gives someone wealth and possessions, and the ability to enjoy them, to accept their lot and be happy in their toil—this is a gift of God.

Solomon found out that you can have everything your heart desires and still not be happy. Yet, the world we live in often tells us that it’s what you possess that makes you happy. But, God says it’s actually who possesses you that can make you happy. Because one of God’s sweetest gifts to His creation is that no matter how much or how little you have, you’re able to enjoy what He’s given you.

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

Everyone wants to know God’s will for their lives, but we also really want to complain about things that happen in our lives. But when you look at the list of things that God says is His will for you, complaining doesn’t make the list. So, the next time a complaint tries to make its way out of your mouth, turn it into a prayer instead. That might just have you praying all day long!

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.
