...For He is Good: for his mercy endures forever. Psalm 136:1
In a time when we stop to gather with friends and family to reflect on the things we are grateful for, let's also take time to delight and meditate on God’s word. May we remember Who we give thanks to and why we give thanks to Him.
O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation. Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms. For the LORD is a great God, and a great King above all gods.
