Did you know that our English words think”
and thank” come from the same root? I believe
that brings forth an important concept. Our
thankfulness is based upon our think”fullness.
In other words, we can always give thanks if we
just give it some thought.
That’s what David seems to be doing in the
103rd Psalm. He begins by saying “Bless the
LORD” (v.1). That phrase in the Hebrew means
to express gratitude. He then states, “And forget
not all His benefits” (v.2). David then goes on to
list a few “benefits” of knowing the Lord, like
forgiveness and healing (v.3), protection and
blessings in life (v.4), food and revival of spirit (v.5)
on and on he goes.
As David thought upon the benefits that God
gives, his response was to thank Him. We should
be no different. No matter what circumstances
the world puts in our life, we can always thank
God- if we’ll just take some time to think on
Him! Think on what He has done and has
promised to do. So give it a try – think and you
will thank!
