How can I repay the Lord
for all his goodness to me?
—Psalm 116:12
Do you ever talk to yourself?
David did. He was in a reflective mood: “The Lord has been good to me,” he said. So he asked himself, “How can I repay the Lord for all his goodness to me?” (Ps 116: 7, 12).
Good question.
Something is amiss in the character of a person who is unaware of or ungrateful for the blessings that accompany their life.
Art King hosted a radio program, Job Center of the Air. He helped over 2500 people find jobs. Only ten thanked him.
Jesus cured ten men of body-eating leprosy. Only one said, “Thank you.”
Talk to yourself. And to God.
Problems are inevitable.
Gratitude is optional.
