Giving Thanks and Praise Always
"Therefore I will give thanks unto Thee, O Lord, among the heathen, and I will sing praises unto Thy name." 2 Samuel 22:50
If we get in an automobile accident and come out alive, we typically thank God for sparing our lives. But do you ever just thank God for saving your life as you drive home from work and don't have an accident? Isn't that even better?
I heard a story that poignantly illustrates this. At church one day a family heard about a significant love offering given by a father in memory of his son who had died on the battlefield. On the way home, the wife asked her husband, "Why don't we give a love offering for our son?" He said, "Why? Our son wasn't killed." She said, "Don't you think that's a good reason?"
What should we do in all things, whether we're safe or sorry?
