From page 351 of Every Day in His Presence by Charles F. Stanley (portions of the devotion):
The Choice to Praise
I will rejoice and be glad in Your lovingkindness, because you have seen my affliction.
PSALM 31:7
As you ready yourself to face the day, you have a choice: you can either grumble about your troubles or you can turn your mind to your Father in praise. Before you decide, realize this important truth: there is power when you give thanks to the Lord. Not only do you honor God as He deserves, but you also refocus your attention to His positive attributes rather than your negative circumstances—and that sets you up for victory.
...And when you understand His ultimate purpose is for you, you’ll see why it’s so wise to thank Him in every circumstance.
Lord, I adore You! You are magnificent—worthy of honor and always triumphant! How grateful I am for Your love, amen.
From ELC:
Today I praise my Lord God Almighty and His Son, Jesus, for the many blessings They have given to me—especially my life, breath, family and friends.
Happiest Thanksgiving to Y’all! Our Dear Friends EVERYWHERE!
