How Psalm 103 Shows Us How to Find Gratitude in Every Season
  • Published Nov 21, 2024

Hey there, if you're finding it difficult to cultivate a heart of gratitude this Thanksgiving season, I want to encourage you with David's words found in Psalm 103:1-5: 

"Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me. Bless his holy name. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget none of his benefits, who pardons all your iniquities, who heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit, who crowns you with loving kindness and compassion, who satisfies your years with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagles."

I love this because it is a reminder, a redirection for our hearts, that in spite of the circumstances that may be going on around us, there is always something that we can be thankful for.
