“I lift up my eyes to the hills—from where will my help come?”
“My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth…
He who keeps Israel will neither
slumber nor sleep”
(Ps 121:1-4 NRSV)
David’s words in this Psalm remind us that in all of life’s circumstances, God is with us. He neither slumbers nor sleeps. The God of creation, the One who created the world, and you and me, is the One that we can turn to in times of need. He is also the one that we give thanks to when life is good. In all things, we give thanks.
So, this week, as you gather with family and friends, go around the table and ask each person to share one thing for which they are thankful and then give thanks to God, who sustains us and provides for us in all of life’s circumstances.
