Faith Walk: The Choice of ‘Thanks’

Each day of our lives we choose as to whether we are going to speak positive words of praise or negative words of complaint.

It is a minute-by-minute choice. During the times of Jesus, it was the practice of many Jews to pray specific, short prayers of blessing (praise and thanksgiving to God) throughout the day. While some days are better than others, every day can be the best day of our lives by giving thanks. David prayed in Psalms 103:1,2: “Bless the Lord, my soul, and all that is within me, bless His holy name. Bless the Lord, my soul, and do not forget any of His benefits.”
