Psalm 75:1
"We give thanks to you, O God, we give thanks, for your Name is near; men tell of your wonderful deeds." NIV
"Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks, unto thee do we give thanks: for that thy name is near thy wondrous works declare." KJV
When we think of giving thanks, we give praise to God for the particular blessings He has shown us in our own lives. God is pleased with our thankful hearts for these things. However, our thanksgiving goes so much beyond our own blessings to give Him thanks for the blessings He has poured out on the whole world and all of mankind. He gave all. If we think on that for a while, we will be so engulfed in His great loving kindness, the blessings He has showered on us all.
Heavenly Father, how thankful we are that You have given all blessings and love to us. Forgive us for our narrow thinking and only focusing on those blessings You have showered on just ourselves. Open our eyes that we might see Your gracious and merciful blessing to all of mankind. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
