Did You Thank God Today?

Read:
Psalm 100

Enter into His gates with thanksgiving . . . . Be thankful to Him, and bless His name. -Psalm 100:4

Bible In One Year: Numbers 11-14

On my way to work one day I saw a bumper sticker that read: "Did you thank a green plant today?" Plants are essential to the balance of nature. They release oxygen into the air. They're also a source of food, fuel, medicine, and building materials.

Was the bumper sticker suggesting that because we are so dependent on plants we should actually thank them? If that's what the driver believes, he certainly has a lot to learn about who should receive our gratitude.

Nature bears marvelous testimony to the wisdom of the Creator. The interdependence of one life-form on another makes us realize that we're part of a complex system characterized by beauty and balance. But to direct our praise to nature reminds us of Paul's indictment of those who "worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator" (Romans 1:25). God alone is worthy of our gratitude! He set our world in motion, and He sustains it by His power.

Yes, it's wonderful to be alive, and deep feelings of appreciation often well up within us. But we must always center our devotion on the One who not only provides the air we breathe but also gives us eternal life through faith in Christ.

I'd like to see that bumper sticker changed to: "Did you thank God today?" -Dennis De Haan

Wind and water, light and sod
Speak with faithful lips for God;
May we give to Him our praise
For the goodness He displays. -Anon.

When you think of all that's good, give your thanks to God.

In The Garden

And He walk with me and He talks with me,
And He tells me I am His own;
And the Joy we share as we tarry there,
None other has ever known.


I come to the garden alone
while the dew is still on the roses;
And the voice I hear, falling on my ear,
The Son of God discloses.

And He walk with me and He talks with me,
And He tells me I am His own;
And the Joy we share as we tarry there,
None other has ever known.

He speaks, and the sound of His voice
Is so sweet the birds hush their singing;
And the melody that He gave to me;
Within my heart is ringing.

And He walks with me and He talks with me,
And He tells me I am His own,
and the Joy we share as we tarry there,
None other has ever known.

I'd stay in the garden with Him
Tho' the night around me be falling;
But He bids me go- thru' the voice of woe,
His voice to me is calling.

And He walks with me and He talks with me,
And He tells me I am His own;
And the Joy we share
as we tarry there,
None other has ever known.
