“Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever” I Chronicles 16:34. Have you heard this refrain so many times that you could automatically complete it? But, have you ever looked at this refrain closely? Presently, there are many self-help authors that talk to us about the benefits of gratitude. And they are correct; it IS good for us to be thankful. But David isn’t calling for us to give thanks because “it’s good for us.”
