GRATEFUL SHEPHERDS. Herders had a way with words in Bible times. Out there in the fields, they wrote some of the most wonderful songs of thanks to God. Photo by Hartwig HKD/flickr.
HERE’S HOW JEWISH SONGWRITERS said thanks to God more than 2,000 years ago.
- Shout with joy to the Lord, all the earth! Psalm 100:1
- Lord, it is good to praise you.
Most High God, it is good to make music to honor you. Psalm 92:1
- Our God, we thank you
for being so near to us! Psalm 75:1
- Give thanks to the Lord, because he is good.
His faithful love continues forever. Psalm 118:29
Here’s how I say thanks to God this year.
I don’t know how you do it,
walking ahead of me
and covering my back.
But thanks.
Please keep it up;
I’ve got a ways to go before I get there.
