Give thanks to the Lord

The first verse of Psalm 118 reads (NLT),
Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good!
His faithful love endures forever.
Those are famous words repeated throughout the Bible. Note that those words give us a command. That is, we are to give thanks to God. Further, those words give us the reason that we should follow the command: Because God loves us with an incomprehensible, unending love.

Those words are powerful, but they're also simple. They form the basis for wonderful prayers throughout the day. We should frequently stop what we're doing, spend a few minutes giving God thanks, and recognize why we're giving him thanks.
