First Chronicles 16 records David’s song of thanks that he wrote to celebrate the arrival of the Ark of the Covenant in Jerusalem. The beautiful song is filled with praise and adoration for God. It’s also a song that reminds us why we have such tremendous reason to be thankful.
In verse 34, David says, “Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever.”
David reminds us of some simple yet beautiful reasons to thank God. Today, let’s dwell on the fact that God is good. We often describe folks we like or admire as “good people.” But the truth is, no one we know is entirely good. Even the good people in our lives have made bad choices and done sinful things. But not God. God is wholly good. And what a blessing that is. How thankful we should be that we serve a perfect, holy, and good God!
