DAILY?READINGS: Exodus 12:21-51; Psalm 45-46; Acts 6

Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O Lord, among the heathen (nations), and sing praises unto thy name. Psalm 18:49

Giving thanks to the Lord speaks loudly in this unthankful world. God has put us here to shine as lights, to be seen as a city on a hill, and to be salt to reach out to the ends of the earth. Nothing shines brighter, is seen more clearly, and reaches further than thanksgiving and praise to Him from whom all blessings flow. Tell the Lord, thankyou, today, out loud—and by your life, so that everyone will hear! —Rex Trogdon

Yes, on through life’s long path, still chanting as ye go;
From youth to age, by night and day, in gladness and in woe.
Rejoice, rejoice, rejoice give thanks, and sing!
                                                                             —Edward H. Plumptre
