Search Me O God

Be thankful. Be intensely thankful. Be continuously thankful -- every moment. We can never be thankful enough: we just do not have the physical and mental capacity to be as thankful as we should. No matter how bad or sad our circumstances may be, there are always grounds for more thankfulness than we are humanly able to feel or express. Being thankful has many practical values. It is wholesome. It is healthy. It is therapeutic. It refreshes and clears and invigorates the mind. It wonderfully flushes out the rubbish and the petty cares. It is an automatic antidote to much foolishness and fleshliness. No one can be thankful and lonely at the same time; or thankful and angry; or thankful and self-pitying -- not if it is true, deep, spiritual thankfulness. Thankfulness is a powerful incentive to do what is right, and to resist what is wrong. It is a major ingredient of our love for God. It is a wonderful remembrancer -- keeping the mind fixed on God and His goodness. "Give thanks ALWAYS for ALL things" (Eph. 5:20) -- for the "bad" as well as the "good," for all is part of a deep and wise Divine Purpose that is training us for Eternity, and leading us to Life.
