Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good!
His faithful love endures forever
Psalm 118:1

Here on the Seeking Him devotional blog, we are focusing our thoughts for the next few weeks on giving thanks, gratitude, and being thankful. This week our devotional writers have greatly encouraged us as they pointed us to our good God to Whom much thanks is due. Please click on each link to read each complete devotional; here are a few excerpts from their thoughts….
In Reasons to Give Thanks, Cynda …. goodness is Who He is.
“What I need to remember is that circumstances do not determine my reasons for giving thanks. My reasons for giving thanks are summed up in John 3:16 (God so loved that He gave) and Psalm 118:1 (He is good). Goodness is part of God’s character, it is what He is. His love is faithful, enduring, and eternal. And those are the only reasons I need.”

In Without God’s Love, Ahmee brought our attention to what it would be like if we didn’t have God’s love…
“Without God’s love we would be some very sad people. Without the love of God, Jesus would not have been sent for us. Without Jesus we would all be bound by the law. Bound by the law we’d be doomed to live far more strict lives or suffer the consequences. Without Jesus we would be stuck trying to be”good enough.” Thank God that is not the case!…”

In God’s Goodness, Ann shared a number of Scriptures that speak of how good our God is…
“The whole of Psalm 118 praises the Lord for His everlasting love for His people…how good He is from the start to the end. The Bible gives us Scriptures that show God’s goodness in many ways…we see the goodness of the Lord being shown in different ways. Brethren, let us trust in the Lord always for, indeed, His love endures forever….“

In Thanks and Praise, Tina reminded us to bring attention to our great God and His love—and why…
“During this holiday season, we tend to think of things we are thankful for, such as our homes, jobs, and children. We should, but we should also pause and meditate on how God has watched His creation grow and evolve over the centuries. We are created to tell others about His great love for you and me…”.

I’m thanking God for another week of good devotionals that point us to our Father’s love for each of us. I want other’s to experience His love too.
I’m thanking God for you ladies, because each of you is His vessel pouring out His good news. <3
