In Psalm 107 v 23 - 32 we read of those who go to sea in ships,and how often they find themselves in a severe storm that threatens their lives,they try everything to survive,but to no avail,death looks certain. In that situation they do what many people do,'they cried to Lord'v 28,and we read God in His mercy responded ,by calming the sea,and bringing them to their desired haven. It stands to reason that if God delivers,be it nation,or an individual,they should give thanks unto God ,sad to say it does not often happen but if we are children of God it should happen.How grateful are we for His many deliverances, for his help and protection ,and most of all for His salvation.May today we raise our thankful hearts to him who loved us when we didn't love Him,from Him who stuck with us through thick and thin,and still remains faithful to us today.
'Now thank we all our God,
with hearts,and hands, and voices;
who wondrous things hath done,
in whom this world rejoices;
Who, from our mothers arms,
hath blessed us on our way
with countless gifts of love,
and still is ours today.
