"Let them give thanks to the Lord for His loveingkindness, and for His wonders to the sons of men! "Psalm 107:8
If we complained less and praised more, we should be happier and God would be more glorified. Let us daily praise God for common mercies - common as we frequently call them, and yet so priceless that when deprived of them we are ready to perish. let us bless God for the eyes with which we behold the sun, for the health and strength to walk abroad, for the bread we eat, for the raiment we wear. Let us praise Him for everything we receive from His bounteous hand, for we deserve little and yet are most plenteously endowed. But the sweetest and the loudest note in our songs of praise should be of redeeming love. God's redeeming acts toward His chosen are forever the favorite themes of their praise. If we know what redemption means, let us not withhold our sonnets of thanksgiving. We have been redeemed from the power of our corruptions, uplifted from the depth of sin in which we were naturally plunged. We have been led to the cross of Christ - we are no longer slaves but children of the living God. Child of God, can you be silent?
