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

This Thursday is Thanksgiving Day for the people of the United States. That’s good. We need to be reminded to be thankful. We have so much to be thankful for as a nation—even in these spiritually dark times.

For the people of the Kingdom of God, it is Thanksgiving Day every day, and on into eternity. And yes, we need to be reminded as well. We have even more to be thankful for. We are saved by (v.1) the “Rock of our salvation,” Jesus Christ, who loved us and gave Himself for us. Ps. 95:3 reminds us that the Lord is “the great God, and the great King above all gods.” We are reminded (vv.4-5) that He is the Creator and ruler over all things.

Let us meditate on our Creator, our Savior, and our King. And then let us spontaneously “Come before His presence with thanksgiving and shout joyfully to Him with psalms.” (v.2) Let us “worship and bow down; let us kneel before the Lord our God, our Maker!” (v.6)

Since He never changes and since we owe not only our salvation but our existence to Him, truly every day is Thanksgiving Day!
