“O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever.” 1 Chronicles 16:34

Now that’s a verse worth holding on to. Life has its ups and downs, its sunshine and its storms. Some days you feel like shouting from the rooftops, and other days you feel like crawling back under the covers. But right in the middle of it all, this verse reminds us of two unshakable truths: God is good, and His mercy never runs out.

Think about that—God’s goodness isn’t seasonal. It doesn’t expire when you mess up or when life gets messy. His mercy is a well that never runs dry, a sunrise that never fails to show up in the morning. When you can’t depend on your circumstances, you can depend on His character.

So today, no matter what you’re facing, pause and give thanks. Not because everything feels perfect, but because you serve a God who is perfect. His goodness is constant. His mercy is forever. And that’s more than enough reason to lift your head, whisper a prayer of gratitude, and keep walking forward in faith.

Friend, when you give thanks, you shift your focus. You stop staring at the problem and start seeing the Provider. And that changes everything.
